Green structural steel to enhance eco-engineering and respond to environmental needs
Nowadays, no matter what industry – food or construction materials, they should take into account the green concept, because it has still been an ongoing global trend which requires vigilant and diligent attention to shape up a sustainable environment.
Many surveys indicate that people are increasingly interested in and biased to environmentally friendly products and services. So, every industry must adapt in response to this change.
The construction and building industry must as well be environmentally conscious. In order to accommodate further needs of users, both materials used and the construction process must be truly eco-friendly. It can simply start from choosing green materials; the greener they are, the more construction fulfills the trend.
Structural steel from SYS is supported and certified by national and international environmental certifications. It all goes through a production process that does not adversely affect or disturb nature. Using SYS structural steel thus ensures eco-friendly buildings that meet the trend as the project owners wish for.
Environmental trend – a leading trend every industry pays attention to
During the past 5-10 years, energy saving and the environment have more firmly become a trend than ever before. Every industry, including construction, beauty, fashion and consumer goods, launches a series of campaigns, activities, and innovations to make sure that organizations and users’ lifestyles are compatible with the environment.
Environmental protection is still a trend important to our planet as reaffirmed by the results of a survey on consumption behavior conducted in 19 countries around the world by Kantar Market Research Insights. The survey found that 20% of people were more environmentally conscious and, according to a study of modern consumption behavior conducted by Hakuhaido ASEAN Living Research Center ( Hill ASEAN), 81% were willing to pay more for green products. From this we realize that whatever industry it is, all products and services must be more oriented to the environmentally friendly trend in order to further develop in line with global directions and reflect people’s needs.
The construction and building industry & its adaptation to obtain a greener building
Unavoidably, the construction and building industry also needs to adapt without delay, as real estate and construction enthusiasts, both individuals and organizations, start looking for a home office, building, or factory that employs environmentally-sound materials and construction processes instead of conventional ones.
According to a survey conducted by Transparency Market Research, it was found that, in 2020, the world’s green construction market was worth up to USD 264 billion and, in 2031, it will continue to grow and expand in value by over USD 720 billion. This is hence an indication that this type of construction material is definitely in demand in the global market.
Thailand’s construction industry itself has promoted and encouraged those involved to align their work with the global trend through employing materials that minimize greenhouse gas emissions and locally produced materials. Moreover, many policies have been formulated, e.g., BCG and MiT, in support of this commitment.
Adjusting the domestic construction approach to the world’s environmental trend, in addition to representing itself as a hub of green buildings, this is also a way to expand the market and attract investors from other countries.
Eco-friendly steel from SYS to meet the global trend to achieve a greener construction than ever before
If talking about construction materials that are environmentally friendly throughout the entire life cycle, structural steel will absolutely be the answer, especially one produced from recycled steel scraps that have been through an energy-saving melting process. This kind of structural steel is a material that is highly eco-friendly while every process of its production less affects the environment compared to steel produced by conventional smelting and forging processes.
SYS structural steel is one of the green solutions as it is produced from recycled steel scraps and gone through a melting process that saves more energy by up to 75%. In addition, it is also certified by Carbon Footprint Organization (CFO), Carbon Footprint Product (CFP), as well as, most recently, Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), thus being Thailand’s first hot-rolled structural steel material recognized by the EPD. As a result, construction projects in Thailand that employ SYS structural steel will be set on an environmental standard comparable to that observed at the international level.
Adopting environmentally-certified SYS structural steel does not only mean we recognize the global trend, but we also prove it through constructions that practically save the world while also concretely resonating with environmental goals of today’s users.
