In 2024 the construction industry has still not recovered from the pandemic crisis and the geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. It is also facing climate change issues, so contractors are under pressure to find ecologically friendly materials at lower prices.

These popular movements in the BIM procurement process have forced the supply chain to reinvent itself and develop new materials for the construction industry less expensive and more sustainable.

Some new materials use recycled construction and demolition waste 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 to protect the planet and the comfort of communities 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 wood.
