The Problem Packaging from industrial, commercial, and institutional sources represents 52% of plastic packaging waste generated in Canada. Studies from Europe estimate that approximately 80% of the plastic waste from on-site construction activities is clean packaging and can be easily diverted from landfills. The remainder comes from excess product, offcuts and wastage of plastic building products, including some hard-to-manage plastics. The current linear model Plastics are

Public spaces are often designed around safety requirements with materials selected primarily for compliance and performance. But what if those same materials could also help shape the visitor experience—how people feel, move, and connect within a space? A compelling example of this idea in practice is ‘The Clearing’, a permanent installation at the Folkestone Triennial visitor center in Folkestone, UK. Inspired by a forest clearing, the project uses Garnica Fireshield® plywo

NEU: An ACI Center of Excellence for Carbon Neutral Concrete (NEU) and the Resilience Action Fund (RAF) today announced the two organizations have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) documenting a shared commitment to advancing the adoption of resilient construction practices that will enhance the service life of structures that include concrete or potentially increase the use of concrete in the new and/or existing built environment. NEU and RAF staff will work toget

Mold is everywhere—it grows from microscopic airborne spores, and once those land on something, mold grows and can do a lot of damage to the materials it's on. Out in the woods and fields, mold's job is to break down organic materials and return them to the earth as nutrients. Unfortunately, mold doesn't discriminate between a fallen tree branch and a living room wall. Its job is to break down whatever it's growing on, and it's very good at doing this. Mold thrives in moist,

Construction workers spend hours working under the blistering summer sun, pushing through intense labor while wearing heavy gear. Even if they think they’re drinking enough water, they can still be prone to rapid dehydration from electrolyte loss through sweating. However, using the Hydration Punch from Roundhouse Provisions is just the thing their body needs to prevent complications like fainting and shock. It's a refreshing, zero-sugar electrolyte mix formulated to suppor
