Abstract

A green material suits most tunefully within ecosystem practices and donates to the achievement of a service-based economy. Due to the properties of non-toxic, organic and recycling, green materials are widely used in various industrial applications. Green materials can be categorized as natural materials, plastics, ceramics and composite materials, and they are extensively utilized in building materials. In this study, green materials are briefly introduced and their applications are shortly reviewed.

Highlights

  • Materialsare the stuff of economic life in our industrial world

  • Green materials can be classified as natural materials, plastics (e.g.plexiglass), ceramics and composite materials

  • Green materials can be used in different places such as environmental area, chemical industry as well as building materials

Summary

Introduction

Materialsare the stuff of economic life in our industrial world. They include the resource inputs and the product outputs of industrial production. C. Extended product life: Repair, reuse and remanufacturing are in this group, and in building there is huge potential for deconstruction and the reuse of building materials. D. Materials recycling: This tends to need more energy, but some form of recycling will be essential for each material at a point in its life cycle. Materials recycling: This tends to need more energy, but some form of recycling will be essential for each material at a point in its life cycle This classification is not adequate in itself to manage all the main dimensions of transforming materials use in building, it provides a structure that can be built upon
