3M Homeowner Survey Shows Strong Interest in Eco-Friendly Construction Materials and Practices
Of the homeowners surveyed, 70% plan to purchase eco-friendly materials for their next renovation.
From reducing air pollution to using renewable energy as a power source, U.S. homeowners have an overwhelming desire for more information, more choices, and more action across the industry for eco-friendly construction materials and practices, according to the 2021 3M Home Renovation Study. Homeowners believe most in recycling and reducing waste as the top activity that will positively impact the environment. Eliminating single-use plastics, using renewable energy, reducing air pollution, and selecting energy-efficient products round out the top five.
“Many homeowners are now inspired to choose construction materials that both serve their conventional purpose and make a positive impact for the environment,” said Josh Orman, 3M Industrial Mineral Products Division, senior manager of Business Development. “It’s encouraging to see consumers and 3M taking action to improve our environment.”
