THE FUTURE OF SUSTAINABLE CARPENTRY: ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES
Abstract
Sustainable carpentry is becoming an essential part of the global effort to reduce environmental impact while maintaining high-quality craftsmanship. This paper explores the importance of using eco-friendly materials such as reclaimed wood and bamboo and highlights energy-efficient carpentry techniques that contribute to reducing carbon footprints. By adopting sustainable practices, carpenters can significantly impact environmental conservation while ensuring durability and cost-effectiveness in construction. Additionally, this study discusses government policies, industry trends, and emerging technologies shaping the future of sustainable carpentry.
