Can the Process of Building Sustainable Roofs be Unsustainable?
Eventually, any material used in sustainable building will become unsustainable, at least in theory. Broadly speaking, the term sustainable means the ability to endure. When it comes to building materials, sustainable materials are typically made from recycled materials and are designed to meet or exceed the lifespan of comparable building materials. But eventually everything will wear out and need replacement. While sustainable products can be recycled and either reconditioned for the same use, or put in use for another application, in the end the material itself will wear out, even if it takes hundreds of years.
