'Green-mix' concrete: An environmentally friendly building
Complementing the Government of Malaysia’s efforts to encourage the use of environmentally friendly materials in the construction of green buildings, researchers from the faculty of civil engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA in Malaysia have successfully developed an environment friendly version of building concrete called green-mix concrete.
- What are the eco-friendly materials used in Malaysian construction?
- Malaysia’s construction sector is increasingly adopting eco-friendly materials to meet growing demands for sustainable development. Here are some of the most common types of eco-friendly materials used in Malaysian construction: Bamboo Bamboo is one of the most sustainable materials in the world, growing rapidly and requiring minimal resources.
- What are eco-friendly concrete products?
- This eco-friendly range includes ECOCem™, a selection of low-carbon cements; ECOConcrete™, offering concrete with significantly reduced embodied carbon; ECOSand™, a perfect substitute for natural sand; and ECODrymix™, an eco-friendly pre-mix range.
- How can bioengineered concrete help Malaysia achieve sustainability goals?
- Through the integration of bacteria, this innovative material demonstrates enhanced durability, reduced environmental impact, and improved resource efficiency. By embracing bioengineered concrete, Malaysia can move closer to achieving its sustainability goals while creating structures that stand the test of time.
- Why are eco-friendly building materials becoming more popular in Malaysia?
- The demand for eco-friendly building materials in Malaysia has grown significantly in recent years, as both developers and consumers become more environmentally conscious. This shift is transforming the construction landscape, encouraging companies to prioritize sustainability and reduce their environmental footprint.
- What are eco-friendly insulation materials in Malaysia?
- Green Insulation Materials Eco-friendly insulation materials such as sheep wool, recycled cotton, and cellulose (often made from recycled paper) are gaining popularity in Malaysia. These materials provide excellent thermal insulation, reducing energy consumption for heating and cooling systems in buildings.
- What is ecoconcrete?
- ECOConcrete is a ready-mixed concrete with 20 percent to 60 percent lower embodied carbon content compared to conventional (CEM I) concrete. It is made with cement produced with alternative materials to achieve embodied carbon reduction.
