Traditional construction is one of the highest polluting industry’s in the UK, due to waste the high levels of material waste and the amount of traders on the road driving to sites. Globally, the traditional construction industry contributes around 50% of climate change gasses, 50% landfill waste and 50% of Ozone depletion.
In contrast, the MMC process is much more sustainable, as the focus is on using materials and technologies that make the build process greener, more efficient, and more sustainable. This leads to less material waste throughout the project, and lower carbon environmental impact on every project.
Due to the flexible nature of MMC, those looking to further improve the sustainability of their modular building can add sustainable and renewable design features. Such as, sedum living roofs, solar panels, eco-cladding & insulation, and integrated smart technology to reduce energy consumption.
