The Rise of Carbon-Negative Materials: A New Chapter in Building Innovation

What if the materials used to construct buildings could help remove carbon from the atmosphere instead of adding to it? As the construction industry looks for ways to reduce its environmental footprint, carbon-negative materials are gaining attention. From carbon-storing concrete to bio-based alternatives, this emerging approach is opening up new possibilities for Building Innovation. What Makes a Building Material Carbon-Negative? Most conventional building materials generate carbon emissions during extraction, manufacturing, transportation and installation. Carbon-negative materials aim to go a step...
