The Region can be a Hub for Low-Carbon Building Materials
Reducing carbon content will create new interest in using recycled materials instead of extracted natural resources, upgrading the manufacturing process for increased energy efficiency, using more energy-efficient modes of transportation, and promoting local purchasing. Biomaterials, energy efficiency, water and rail transit options, circular manufacturing, reuse and recycling, and local purchasing will drive gains in reducing carbon intensity. All of this is beneficial for both the environment and the sustainability and profitability of companies. It can contribute to community stability, long-term prosperity, and the well-being of workers and families.
