July 1, 2022 30+ Benefits of Using Eco Friendly Construction Materials by FRONT At FRONT, we constantly speak with architects, developers, contractors, investors, and private homeowners about the benefits of using eco-friendly construction materials and our mission to create a more circular world. We learn a lot from these conversations and have realised that the value our products offer differs from stakeholder to stakeholder. While sustainability and aesthetics are always at the core, architects might primarily be interested in our WasteBasedBricks, WasteBasedSlips, or BioBasedTiles because they contribute to a green building rating system like BREEAM or LEED, while a developer may be interested in our products because they attract investors who want to invest sustainably.
