The BCRS, a New Environmentally friendly light-weight beverage container recycling plant, is an industrial building project focusing on reducing its carbon footprint throughout its entire life cycle. Building materials: Precast concrete elements minimize waste and require less transportation, Sustainably sourced wood reduces CO2 emissions compared to traditional materials like concrete. Building design: The shape and shading of the building reduce reliance on heating and cooling systems, Natural ventilation is maximized through windows and skylights. Renewable energy: A photovoltaic system on the roof generates solar power for the building. Innovative technologies: Bio-active ceramic tiles are used for the facade to purify the air and keep it clean. Overall, the project implements various strategies to minimize the building’s environmental impact.
