In 2024 the construction industry is still struggling to overcome the impact of the pandemic crisis, the wars in Ukraine and Israel, and the issues in the Panama and Suez canals. Climate change and weather issues are putting pressure on contractors to find materials that are more ecologically friendly at lower prices.
These popular movements, in the procurement process, have forced the supply chain to reinvent itself and develop new building materials that are cheaper and more sustainable.
Some of the new materials are using recycled construction and demolition waste like pieces of real, scrapped, and shredded wood. They look just like wood but are more economical, more durable, and stronger.
Recycling materials avoids waste being thrown away in landfills. This protects the planet and improves the comfort of communities living close to junk yards.
The ecological effort has also driven suppliers to develop and discover alternate materials. For instance, bamboo grows much faster than timber, making it an excellent replacement for traditional timber.
