Description

As environmental concerns rise, the construction industry embraces sustainable materials that minimize waste and energy consumption. This paper discusses five groundbreaking materials: (1) Recycled Concrete, which reduces reliance on virgin materials; (2) Hempcrete, lightweight, carbon-negative material with excellent insulation properties; (3) Bamboo, a fast-growing, renewable alternative to traditional wood; (4) Mycelium-Based Bricks, an innovative biodegradable material grown from fungi; and (5) Phase-Change Materials (PCMs), which enhance building energy efficiency by storing and releasing heat. The paper presents comparative studies on cost, durability, and carbon impact, demonstrating how these materials contribute to LEED and BREEAM certifications. Challenges such as scalability, market acceptance, and regulatory hurdles are also examined. The conclusion highlights future trends in green construction, including government incentives for sustainable materials and advances in bio-based composites.
