sustainable materials
Earth-conscious building supplies
Sustainable materials are resources that can be produced, used, and disposed of without depleting natural systems or causing lasting environmental harm.
The term covers recycled content, renewable resources like bamboo or hemp, and materials with low carbon footprints: The architect specified sustainable materials throughout the building.
In manufacturing and construction, sustainability often weighs extraction, transport, durability, and end-of-life recyclability together.
