1. Bamboo Flooring: Renowned for its rapid growth and renewability, bamboo is an excellent alternative to traditional hardwood flooring. It is 100% biodegradable, antibacterial and Eco-friendly if not chemically processed. Its durability and aesthetic appeal make it a popular choice for eco-conscious homeowners.

2. Recycled Glass Countertops: Transforming discarded glass into stunning countertops not only adds a unique touch to your kitchen but also helps reduce waste. These are hard, smooth countertops for kitchens, dining rooms, and even bathrooms made from recycled glass, and offer durability and resistance to stains and scratches, making them both functional and environmentally friendly. In most cases, the finished product consists of between 70 to 85 percent of recycled content.

3. Salvaged Wood: Incorporating salvaged wood into your home's design adds character while reducing the demand for new timber. Unlike reclaimed wood, which has been used for some kind of building application, salvaged or “recovered wood” is new wood that has been harvested as a by-product of another process. From reclaimed barn wood to repurposed shipping pallets, there's a wide range of options to choose from.

4. Low VOC Paint: Traditional paints contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that release harmful chemicals into the air. Opting for low VOC or zero VOC paint not only improves indoor air quality but also minimizes environmental impact.

5. Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs): ICFs offer superior insulation properties compared to traditional concrete blocks, resulting in energy-efficient homes with reduced heating and cooling costs. Additionally, using ICFs helps minimize construction waste and enhances the structural integrity of your home.

6. Cob: A mixture of subsoil, water, fibrous organic material, and sometimes lime, this material has been used for over 10,000 years and adds a natural, earthy look to homes. Its benefits include being eco-friendly, easy to work with, and allowing for endless design possibilities. The natural insulation it provides makes cob houses highly energy efficient, requiring minimal heating.

7. Straw Bales: This sustainable material is commonly used in walls, attics, and ceilings to regulate temperature. Harvested from renewable sources, straw can be replanted with minimal environmental impact. These panels are not only 100% recyclable and biodegradable but can also be mulched down for compost or recycled back into new panels at the end of their lifespan.

8. Hempcrete: Made from sand, hemp fibres, and lime, Hempcrete is a breathable material used for construction and insulation. It doesn't shrink, resulting in crack-free surfaces once dried. Blocks are lightweight and easy to handle, thanks to hemp's fast growth and eco-friendly qualities. While not as strong as concrete, hempcrete excels in fire resistance, pest resistance, and insulation capabilities.

9. Timbercrete: This sustainable building material crafted from sawdust and concrete, offers numerous benefits. By substituting energy-intensive components in traditional concrete with sawdust, Timbercrete is considered a great eco-friendly option. Its lightweight nature makes it easier to transport compared to concrete or clay. Also, it is versatile and suitable for use in blocks, bricks, and pavers. Not only does Timbercrete provide better insulation than brick, clay, or concrete, but it is also highly fire-resistant and has a long lifespan.

10. Plant-Based Polyurethane Rigid Foam: Benefits of plant-based rigid foam include superior protection against mould and pests, along with excellent sound insulation and heat resistance properties.
