Green building is a holistic concept that promotes positive effects on the environment throughout the entire building life cycle, from building design to construction and even the manufacturing process of the building materials. The aim of green building is to make efficient uses of land, materials, energy, and water, generate minimal waste, and provide healthy environments by restoring, improving, or enhancing the natural environment. Tangent’s green construction materials are designed with these principles in mind. With the climate crisis looming, more companies are adopting green practices and green construction products into their overall business strategy every day.
