Housing association to build ‘plastic-free’ homes
Accord Housing Association has committed to building ‘virtually plastic-free’ housing as it attempts to reduce the amount of plastic used during construction.
The West Midlands organisation plans to build 12 homes using alternatives to fit kitchens, bathrooms and windows, as well as reducing the amount of plastic used in building materials.
It notes that the building sector is responsible for more than 60 per cent of resource use in Europe and that more than 30-50 per cent of material use is taking place in the housing construction section
