Green Building Materials used in Construction

Earthen materials like adobe, cob, and rammed earth are being used for construction purposes since yore.

For good strength and durability- chopped straw, grass and other fibrous materials etc. are added to earth.
Even today, structures built with adobe or cob can be seen in some remote areas.

Wood is one of the most famous building materials used around the world.
But in the process of conversion of raw timber to wood boards and planks, most percentage of wood may get wasted.
This wastage can also be used to make structural parts like walls, boards, doors etc. in the form of engineered wood.
Unlike solid wood, engineered wood contains different layers of wood, usually the middle layers are made of wood scraps, softwoods, wood fibers etc.
