Recreating decent green jobs that are likely to grow 21st century economies

The construction industry consumes truckloads of basic materials and in England it’s the single largest source of waste. The combined impacts of the embodied carbon and use of building products ( over £30bn worth a year) is estimated to make up one fifth of the national carbon footprint with transport alone making up a third of all road freight traffic.

According to a study conducted by (Bioregional) the total value of construction industry related work represented 39% refurbishment 23% maintenance and 16% new build. The use of construction materials has a significant impact on the UK sustainability. Annually they account for 19% of total national ecological footprint, 23% of the national greenhouse gas emissions, 420 million tonnes of material consumption and 30% of all road freight on UK roads. There are multiple reasons why the industry urgently needs a transition to a low-carbon.

A weak performance by the construction industry and constraint on natural resources may force the economy back into recession. This emphasises for a creative and innovative revolution greater and faster than the industrial revolution to avoid a major catastrophe. Reuse of construction materials offers competitive advantages to business worldwide and helps to create opportunity for decent green jobs that are likely to grow 21st century economies but in a way that keeps humanity’s footprint within planetary boundaries.
