About three quarters of construction professionals surveyed by Sell House

Fast (www.sellhousefast.co.uk) believe that bamboo is the sustainable material that will feature most heavily in building projects in 2020. Alternative products that are tipped to grow in popularity this year include straw bales (69%), hempcrete (44%) and cork (38%) for their low-carbon qualities. In an increasingly eco-conscious world, the construction industry has a big role to play in reducing the UK’S carbon emissions.
