This #WorldEnvironmentDay, the focus is on #GenerationRestoration – safeguarding our land against desertification and drought. The construction industry, as a major resource user, has a vital role to play in this effort. Concrete, a widely used building material, has a significant environmental impact. Fortunately, innovative solutions like low carbon concrete are on the rise. These advancements involve utilising recycled materials and capturing CO2 emissions during production, which ultimately reduces the industry's carbon footprint. By embracing these sustainable practices, the construction industry can actively contribute to land restoration. This not only conserves precious resources but also helps mitigate the risks of desertification and drought for future generations. #construction #sustainable #recycling

“From Plaster to Soil: Turning Construction Waste into Future Growth 🌱🏡” “Construction doesn’t have to mean waste. Leftover material from my earthen plaster job is now helping build healthy soil for tomato plants—even in winter! ❄️🌱 Using truly sustainable materials means we can rethink the lifecycle of buildings. Instead of sending debris to landfills, we can create assets for future generations—turning what was once waste into a resource for life. It’s time to explore how natural building can contribute to a circular, regenerative future. What would you do with construction scraps like this? Let’s innovate together! 🌍 #Sustainability #NaturalBuilding #CircularEconomy #GreenBuilding #HealthySoils #earthenplaster

8R approach on constructions…Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle, Refuse, Refurnish , Repurpose , Recycle… That is a great step in Circular Economy!

Practical and smart ways to conserve …

🌍🏗️ The construction industry is a major contributor to waste in the UK, generating a staggering 62% of total waste and accounting for 32% of all landfill materials. It's time to rethink our approach to building practices! ·                    Shouldn't every new build incorporate an end-of-life strategy for disassembly? By prioritising reuse and disassembly, we can significantly reduce the waste that ends up in landfills. ·                    At Seismic, we believe in a greener future, and our platform supports an impressive 90% reuse of components. We're committed to promoting sustainable practices within the industry, and the great news is that our platform is open for anyone to use! ·                    Ready to elevate your construction projects and make a positive impact on the environment? Get in touch with us to find out how we can work together towards a more sustainable future! 🌱 #Construction #Sustainability #WasteReduction #GreenBuilding#productplatforms #MMX #industrialisation #seismicgroup

Construction creates an estimated 1/3 of the world's overall waste, and at least 40% of the world's carbon dioxide emissions. Architects, construction companies, and their clients are seeking ways to reduce waste at building sites and demanding a more sustainable approach towards the use of construction materials. Rockcycle® offers a practical solution for contractors seeking to operate more sustainably by reducing waste in landfills. Join us in driving sustainable change and contributing to a circular economy: https://bit.ly/4f5UQMp #Rockcycle #RockcycleMalaysia #SustainableMalaysia #WasteToValue #Sustainability #StoneWoolInsulation #StoneWool #WasteReduction

INDEED. SENSIBLE THINKING. SENSITIVE SCRUTINYof CREATIVE INFORMATION. I wish the various environmentally friendly factions adopted such a view before they passed the very many court rulings to demolish multistoreyed buildings to rubble since time immemorial till date. Hightime we started incorporating most of such reusable ECOFRIENDLY material & adopted the idea of FLOATING GARDENS and GREENS for a HEALTHIER LIFE and GREENER EARTH ,which I mentioned here a few years back for Sir Richard Branson's Save climate propaganda here on LINKEDIN(Do go back a few years to read that here,'coz the thought ess in its INFANCY STAGE and was just gaining momentum then ). INDEED .The least all MUNICIPALITIES,and CIVIC BODIES could tend to, is to redirect their rulings in favour of RELIVING,RELOCATING and REFURBISHING -:The idea of SAVING such structures labelled for demolishment as CONSTRUCTIVE and CREATIVE BUILDING MATERIALS to HELP the UPLIFTMENT of DEVELOPING CREATORS,AIDING the less PRIVILEGED SECTIONS of SOCIETY for a ROOF OVER THEIR HEADS without any further RED TAPE RULINGS,to be a PRECEDENT for FUTURE FRAMEWORK for that Educational curriculum for Budding Architects and Engineers to learn from. Hope all CORPORATIONS, COMMUNITIES and COMMITTEES Can Cradle & CATER to CONFORMING such CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM, CREATIVE CONSTRUCTION , & CONDUCT CONNECTIVITY in COMPRISING,COMPOSING & CAREFULLY CHARTING a COMMENDABLE COMEBACK w/ COHESIVE COMPREHENSION of CARE & CURE . STAY BLESSED ALWAYS 🌈🌈🤝🤝🙏🙏

How do we renovate old buildings while also reusing its materials? Sustainable renovations is the MUST for our future. This video is a great start to a complex circular economy question of reuse or recycle. Notice neither of these options include the landfill. Having reported on LEED Waste Management credits for dozens of large building renovations, from my experience - Step 1 is to have a plan with the right vendors who will allow the appropriate sorting and diverting of reclaimable, reusable, recyclable materials from being throwing by the dumpster into landfills. Separation of materials is key, and then having transparent vendors who will do what they say they will do with the diverted materials. Just because we throw things into the recycling bin does NOT mean they will not end up in the landfill. Maybe even some landfills, oceans, beaches of less fortunate and non-regulated countries. I recently saw a documentary (Buy Now - Netflix) on the consequences of our quick one-click buying habits... I highly recommend watching it. https://lnkd.in/gYB-u7Bx #buynowdocumentary #fastfashion #circulareconomy #LEEDWM #wastemanagement #upcycle #recycle #reuse #netflixdocumentary #sustainablerenovations #materials

🌍Comparative Study of Waste Reduction Practices in Multi-Family Construction 🌍 Exciting insights from a recent study on multi-family housing projects in the mountain-west states of the U.S. reveal the significant benefits of off-site framing practices in wood-framed constructions: 🔍 Key Findings: -Notable Reduction in Wood Waste: Off-site framing achieves remarkable reductions in wood waste, enhancing sustainability. -Minimized Methane-Producing Landfill Waste: Nearly eliminates all methane-producing landfill waste, promoting a greener environment. -Effective Wood Cut-Off Reuse: Practices ensure better reuse of wood cut-offs, contributing to resource efficiency. -Higher Circularity: Achieves higher ‘circularity’ for wood cut-off waste, supporting a sustainable construction cycle. This study highlights the powerful impact of off-site framing in driving sustainability in the construction industry. 🌱🏗️ Read the full study and discover the transformative potential of off-site framing practices: https://lnkd.in/eNQyPdPe #Sustainability #ModularConstruction #Construction #WoodWaste #WasteReduction #ColoradoStateUniversity #OffSiteConstruction #GreenBuilding #CircularEconomy #BuildingInnovation

The circular economy is a central concept in sustainable construction, emphasizing the reduction of waste and the reuse of resources. A prime example of this approach is the utilization of reclaimed foam insulation materials, such as polyisocyanurate (polyiso), expanded polystyrene (EPS), and extruded polystyrene (XPS). At Green Insulation, we are committed to advancing sustainable building practices by offering high-quality, reclaimed rigid foam board insulation. Contact us to discover how reclaimed insulation can enhance your next project.
