Today, the industry is turning to sustainable alternatives that offer the same, if not better, durability and performance without the environmental toll. Self-healing concrete, for instance, not only reduces maintenance costs but also extends the lifespan of structures, minimizing resource use over time.

Similarly, recycled plastic bricks are transforming waste into valuable construction resources, setting a new standard for…
