What is the Sustainable Building Material Manufacturing Industry?

This industry produces sustainable building materials used during the construction and renovation of all types of building structures. Sustainable building materials are composed of renewable (or “green”) resources, rather than nonrenewable resources. Green materials are more efficient than traditional products because they require fewer resources to produce. Sustainable materials also reduce building energy needs and water consumption.
