Sustainability is a wide topic in today's world, that concerns every aspect of our life.
The design industry is no different and new options are coming up daily, from furnishings and accessories that are mindful of our planet to sustainable building materials.
Above all, the sustainable building material is one that: Generates less waste, Uses renewable raw materials, and Is more durable. Currently, research is moving in all these directions.
Sustainable materials: Substitute harmful, synthetic materials in a product with sustainable materials that are natural, renewable, and carbon neutral and use less energy to extract.
Natural: Man-made, synthetic materials are often toxic or hazardous. Many of them do not biodegrade and build up to harmful levels in the environment. For example substitute plastic for wood and substitute synthetic fabrics for hemp or organic cotton canvas.
Renewable: Many natural materials are not renewable however. Whilst some non-renewable, natural materials such as iron and aluminum are abundant and can be recycled endlessly, some elements used in products are very limited. Extracting them uses huge amounts of energy and does environmental damage.
Non-toxic and harmless: It is not just the end material that you need to worry about. The means of production can often use toxic chemicals. Make sure that you understand the lifecycle of the materials that you are using and don’t use materials that have been produced in harmful ways.
Example of sustainable materials is bamboo, wood, hemp, wool, linen; straw, clay, stone, sand, beeswax, and coconut.
Waste Management

Around the world, waste generation rates are rising. In 2016, the worlds’ cities generated 2.01 billion tonnes of solid waste, amounting to a footprint of 0.74 kilograms per person per day. With rapid population growth and urbanization, annual waste generation is expected to increase by 70% from 2016 levels to 3.40 billion tonnes in 2050.
Around the world, waste generation rates are rising. In 2016, the worlds’ cities generated 2.01 billion tonnes of solid waste, amounting to a footprint of 0.74 kilograms per person per day. With rapid population growth and urbanization, annual waste generation is expected to increase by 70% from 2016 levels to 3.40 billion tonnes in 2050. Compared to those in developed nations, residents in developing countries, especially the urban poor, are more severely impacted by unsustainably managed waste. In low-income countries, over 90% of waste is often disposed of in unregulated dumps or openly burned. These practices create serious health, safety, and environmental consequences.
Poorly managed waste serves as a breeding ground for disease vectors, contributes to global climate change through methane generation. Managing waste properly is essential for building sustainable and livable cities, but it remains a challenge for many developing countries and cities. Effective waste management is expensive, often comprising 20-50% of municipal budgets. Operating this essential municipal service requires integrated systems that are efficient, sustainable, and socially supported.
It’s contaminating our oceans. It’s clogging our drains and causing flooding. It’s transmitting diseases, causing respiratory infections, and harming animals. Welcome to the global trash heap. Our cities generate more than 2 billion tonnes of waste every year, but one-quarter of the world’s population doesn’t have access to a proper waste collection system.
In low-income countries all but a small amount of solid waste is burned or dumped. And it is these poorer countries that are shouldering much of the burden of our global waste habit. Between 400,000 and 1 million people die each year in developing countries because of diseases caused by mismanaged waste, estimates poverty charity Tear Fund.

The green construction process involves the “planning, design, construction, and operations of buildings with several central, foremost considerations: energy use, water use, indoor environmental quality, material section, and the building’s effect on its site.” In today’s society, green construction technology is more advanced than ever
The green construction process involves the “planning, design, construction, and operations of buildings with several central, foremost considerations: energy use, water use, indoor environmental quality, material section, and the building’s effect on its site.” In today’s society, green construction technology is more advanced than ever before, and as the world’s supply of non-renewable resources slowly grows rarer and more expensive, the green technology becomes more important than ever before. Sustainable materials, Renewable energy, and Energy-efficient appliances are a few of the ways we can help change the world.
Three Types of Green Construction
1. Cool Roofs: Cool roofs are specially designed to offer increased solar reflectance and decreased thermal emittance. In simplified terms, they reflect the sun’s rays more efficiently to prevent warm or cool air from escaping through your roof.
2. Biodegradable Materials: Using biodegradable materials can completely change the disposal process into something more eco-friendly. Biodegradable fiberglass insulation is an excellent example. The materials can break down without releasing toxins into the Earth.
3. Rammed Earth: Rammed earth is an ancient construction technique similar to Adobe that uses raw materials from the Earth to form sturdy buildings through a simple process.
So what are you waiting for, let’s make the earth a better place! One way or another, green construction is the way of the future. The above three processes are just a few of many, and the technology of today’s construction industry has made the process quicker and cheaper than ever before. In the fast-paced construction culture, it helps to be ahead of the game, so it is time to lead the pack and join the early adopters who have already begun their transition into green building.

Sustainability is the ability to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainability is the capacity to improve the quality of human life while living within the carrying capacity of the Earth’s supporting eco-systems. Sustainability is about stabilizing the currently disruptive relationship between earth’s two most complex systems - human culture and the living world.
How we can all live more sustainably can take many forms, such as:
1). Reorganizing living conditions in the form of eco-villages, eco-municipalities, and sustainable cities.
2). Reappraising economic sectors (permaculture, green building, sustainable agriculture) or work practices (sustainable architecture).
3). Developing new technologies (green technologies, renewable energy, etc.)
4). Making adjustments in individual lifestyles that conserve natural resources.
Since ecological conditions and economic and social systems differ so much from country to country, there is no single blueprint for how sustainability practices are to be carried out. Each country has to work on its concrete policy to ensure that sustainable development is carried out as a global objective.

Water pollution is a global challenge that has increased in both developed and developing countries, undermining economic growth as well as the physical and environmental health of billions of people. Although global attention has focused primarily on water quantity, water-use efficiency, and allocation issues, poor wastewater management has created serious water-quality problems in many parts of the world, worsening the water crisis. Global water scarcity is caused not only by the physical scarcity of the resource but also by the progressive deterioration of water quality in many countries, reducing the quantity of water that is safe to use. Human settlements, industries, and agriculture are the major sources of water pollution. Globally, 80% of municipal wastewater is discharged into water bodies untreated, and the industry is responsible for dumping millions of tonnes of heavy metals, solvents, toxic sludge, and other wastes into water bodies each year. Agriculture, which accounts for 70% of water abstractions worldwide, plays a major role in water pollution. Farms discharge large quantities of agrochemicals, organic matter, drug residues, sediments, and saline drainage into water bodies. The resultant water pollution poses demonstrated risks to aquatic ecosystems, human health, and productive activities.

Human activities produce a tremendous variety of byproducts. Agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and other industrial processes leave organic and inorganic residual compounds behind. Some are inert and harmless, but many are toxic and highly destructive to the environment, particularly the soil and groundwater. Fortunately, our planet has built-in environmental remediation systems. Unfortunately, natural groundwater and soil remediation take a long time. Bioremediation is an environmental science that amplifies natural biological actions to remedy or remediate polluted groundwater and contaminated soil. Rather than using expensive environmental remediation equipment to remove untreated toxic materials and dispose of them elsewhere, bioremediation techniques use biological microbes to do the cleanup work.
Microbes are tiny organisms naturally found in the environment. These bacterial microorganisms are nature’s helpers in decomposing, recycling, and rectifying imbalanced chemical conditions in soil and water. For countless years, nature has been correcting itself, while humans continue to display a profound ability to make a mess and ignore their damage. But now, science has found an effective way to remediate bad soil and groundwater conditions by applying natural organic substances and using their inherent properties.
