Green Building

In the United States, the building environment accounts for approximately one-third of all energy, water and materials consumption and generates similar proportions of pollution. Changing the type of materials we use to construct these buildings is everyone’s responsibility. Governmental regulations, environmental design concerns and skyrocketing energy costs are just some of the factors that have contributed to this wave of change. Our mission at Green Products is to bring biobased product innovations from the fields of the farm, to the lab and ultimately to your building.

As the environmental impact of buildings becomes more apparent, a new field called green building is gaining momentum. Green or sustainable building is the practice of creating healthier and more resource-efficient models of construction, renovation, operation, maintenance, and demolition.
