Happy Earth Day! 🌎 As we celebrate, we're digging into the BuiltWorlds archive to spotlight materials shaping a more sustainable built environment. According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the built environment contributes roughly 37% of all greenhouse gas emissions globally. Companies from across AEC are faced with lowering carbon emissions and other waste to meet sustainability mandates and internal goals. But, not everyone is approaching going green in the same way. We've had the opportunity to learn more about new sustainability efforts happening in the BuiltWorlds network utilizing mass timber, low-carbon concrete and biomaterials/recycled materials.
