Reduce or Replace Hazardous Substances
Reduce toxic product use with natural alternatives for construction and building management.
The Problem with Toxic Products and Materials in Construction and Building Management
Despite growing environmental awareness and stricter regulations, toxic materials and products are still widely used. Adhesives, paints, and treated wood are often chosen for their performance or durability, but they can have a significant impact on human health and the environment.
Reducing this impact doesn’t necessarily mean eliminating these products entirely, but rather making more responsible choices and managing their use more effectively.
These products include aerosols, glues, hardeners, treated wood, oils, tar-based products, paints, and solvents. Their impact can be significantly reduced by switching to safer alternatives — without compromising performance.
