Lignin-Based Binder Reduces Carbon Emissions in Plywood Manufacturing
As suppliers to the building and construction industry strive to provide sustainable products, a plywood manufacturer uses lignin-based binder to reduce carbon emissions of its product.
The construction industry is working to increase sustainability efforts and reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. According recent research, the global construction industry and use of built environments account for 39% of global greenhouse emissions. With an increasing population and rising standards of living in developing nations, the pressure to reduce the carbon footprint of the building and construction industry will continue to mount.
Environment-friendly construction incudes things like reducing waste within construction processes, using recycled materials, increasing energy efficiency in built environments and during construction, implementing the use of renewable materials, and the implementation of natural resources in design engineering. Additionally, the use of composite materials in this market is expected to grow, as these materials can offer advantages such as energy savings, flexibility, and reduced weight.
