Do You Need To Know About Reclaimed Materials?
Construction and reconstruction is what happens in the modern urbanized world.
Old buildings are destroyed and new buildings are constructed, all the time and everywhere.
This is the age of environmentalism which upholds three principles, namely, 'recycle, reuse and reduce' and it is necessary to think seriously about managing reclaimed materials or salvaged building materials.
It's an economically viable idea as the cost of new building materials increases at an alarming rate day by day.
Most of the time, most people are not aware of the sheer amount of useful materials buried in the debris of destroyed buildings or those devastated during natural calamities, like earthquakes for example.
They are not aware that most of these precious objects and artefacts can be reused and reclaimed.
Salvaged building materials, depending on their original age, are very often of far better quality than those which are readily available today, and after all, they have already withstood the test of time.
Things like bricks, tiles, fiber sheets, tin sheets and reclaimed wood can be reused provided they are handled with care during the deconstruction of an existing building or their removal from it.
Reclaimed building materials like these can not only cut the cost of a new construction but they can also improve the overall quality of the new one for which they are being used.
Anything made of plastic can be reused because plastic can survive for a very long period without damage or depreciation occurring.
The whole idea of reclaiming, recycling and salvaging building materials to reuse in a new construction is eco-friendly and therefore currently very fashionable.
Most serious environmentalists would see it as a workable solution, in part, to the environmental crisis man is facing today, and therefore be supportive of it.
An exception to this rule would be the reuse of the remnants of a devastated nuclear plant, which is why the world is thinking seriously about the safe burial of nuclear waste, but any material that does not have radio activity detected on it can be recycled.
The list of reclaimed materials, by its very nature, will vary from place to place and town to town.
It will also differ from one country to another as in each country different reclaimed materials are used for construction and reconstruction.
The local climatic and cultural conditions will determine which building materials are used for the construction of which type of structure.
Some places rely on stone, some on brick, some on wood and these are the things which will survive to be used another day.
