Biodegradable materials for construction

An ecological and at the same time sustainable construction system, is becoming ideal in the world of engineering. “The importance of betting on a sustainable construction was a clear step since this sector is responsible for a large part of the electricity expenditure, the consumption of exhaustible raw materials, the emission of greenhouse gases”, says Gustavo Copelmayer.

Building materials can be ecological, in fact, many people have decided to build their homes using organic materials, as was done centuries ago. The concern to preserve the environment has led to the search for new materials that do not affect the environment, these are Eco-materials.

These are ecologically and economically viable materials, close to the environment where they are going to be used and which also minimize the environmental impact. Ecomaterials have the characteristics of being natural products, free of chemical compounds that do not harm the human being or the planet, concludes Copelmayer.
