“…Since the linkage between human consumption behavior and the rapidly increasing global warming becomes evident, life in the 21st century faces an ongoing environmental crisis. The use of conventional building materials in the global industry impacts largely on climate change by destructing more than 45 percent of global resources and emitting up to 40 percent of the energy-related carbon dioxide into the atmosphere [ 1 , 2 ]. Within an ever-growing society, there is and will be a constant need for materials, and consumption prevention is not the optimal choice.…”
