Environmental and Green Materials

As defined by Environmental Laws, Environmental Materials are any substance, material, chemical, contaminant, waste, or pollutant that is defined, regulated, listed, or determined to be dangerous, toxic, hazardous, extremely hazardous, restricted, or otherwise harmful to environment or humans.

Local and renewable resources are referred to as green materials. Green materials also have low embodied energy in their harvesting, gathering, manufacturing, transportation, and use. A green material blends in best with ecosystem activities and contributes to the development of a service-based economy.
