Materials
At EA we bear in mind that half the resources consumed worldwide are used up in the construction of roads and buildings. We therefore promote:
- Materials which are energy efficient, environmentally sensitive and highly recyclable.
- Obtaining heavy materials locally to reduce the environmental impact resulting from their transportation. This way the nearby communities benefit indirectly too.
- Global stock up of light materials that can be used, reused or recycled.
We advise you not to use (or allow others to use) the following materials for your projects:
- PVC: its production is highly polluting.
- Injected polyurethane: it is highly inflammable.
- Glass fibre: it is considered carcinogenic and prone to cause respiratory problems or disease.
- Copper: nowadays overexploited and therefore scarce.
- Expanded polystyrene
- CFC
- Wiring containing halogen lighting.
