In 2023 the construction industry has still not recovered from the pandemic crisis and the war in Ukraine. It is also facing climate change issues, so contractors are under pressure 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 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 avoid waste being thrown away in landfills to protect the planet and 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.
