Is it possible to be truly green when it comes to construction ? A sustainable approach is not only possible, it can also change the world. Construction is undoubtedly one of the industrial sectors with the greatest environmental impact, particularly when it comes to raw materials . According to some estimates, this sector alone uses half of the world's natural resources.
The urgency of a sustainable choice in construction
We must also mention the polluting emissions produced during the various phases of construction, from extraction to processing, transportation, and, of course, construction waste management. Every year, for example, billions of tons of cement are produced, one of the main components of concrete, the most widely used construction material, which, in turn, produces nearly 10% of global CO2 emissions.
Precisely based on these considerations, it is essential to begin counteracting the effects of "traditional" construction and focus on more sustainable development. Today, numerous eco-friendly alternatives are available for designing, building, and managing structures.
The principles of sustainable and green construction
Sustainable and green construction aims to design and build with minimal environmental impact and to prioritize energy efficiency. The changes underway in this sector are intended to ensure and improve people's health, comfort, and quality of life , meeting their needs without harming the environment, and blending harmoniously into their surroundings.
Solid Earth for sustainable construction
Terra Solida has always experimented with materials, loves nature , and believes in building a sustainable landscape that respects the environment and its context. For this reason, it produces and distributes eco-friendly technologies that are mixed with existing soil, quarry aggregates, or recycled aggregates to create on-site outdoor paving.
Terra Solida 's strength lies in this: innovation, quality, care, and sustainability, but also the desire to engage with others, experiment, and love what they do. Innovation is in the company's DNA, along with a dynamic approach and a desire to continually improve their expertise.
Sustainability is among the basic principles of Terra Solida. The products are of the highest level and the absence of radioactivity has always been certified, as well as raw materials that come from waste from different industrial processes. They are therefore mixed with natural aggregates that can be found locally to create 100% recyclable and eco-friendly flooring.
