Essentially, "Net Zero" refers to the balance between the number of greenhouse gases produced and the amount removed from the atmosphere.

Recycling has become an essential aspect of sustainable living. One of the most common materials that are recycled worldwide is plastics, a versatile material that is used in almost everything we use in our daily lives, from packaging materials to electronic devices.

In recent years, there has been an increased concern about the environmental impact of plastic production and its disposal. The production and disposal of plastic have resulted in palpable negative effects on the environment, including pollution of waterways and oceans, degradation of soil quality, and greenhouse gas emissions.

By considering sustainable building materials for your home, you can be a part of a significant change. Installing these materials can provide numerous benefits, such as reduced energy bills and healthier indoor air quality.
