¿Qué es la sostenibilidad?

Sustainability is defined as "avoidance of the depletion of natural resources in order to maintain an ecological balance," and it's based on the principle that everything we need for our survival and well-being depends on our natural environment in some way. At Rulon International, our approach to sustainability rests in the overarching concept of sustainable design; this includes making sure our products are responsibly harvested and manufactured with minimal waste.

Impacto y ventajas de los materiales de construcción sostenibles

When it comes down to it, sustainability helps us meet our present needs without affecting the ability of future generations to meet theirs. Sustainability consists of three pillars: economic, environmental, and social (also referred to as people, planet, and profits). When companies make the intentional decision to follow sustainable principles, they'll positively contribute toward the three pillars of sustainability.

Sustainable building materials (also called eco building materials or eco-friendly building materials) have benefits that go beyond helping the environment. For example, our custom wood products:

  • Son duraderos y resisten el paso del tiempo
  • Ayudar a ahorrar energía y agua
  • Menos residuos en los vertederos
  • Reducir los productos químicos tóxicos y el impacto medioambiental en general
  • Mejorar la salud y la felicidad de quienes disfrutan del espacio
Son muchos los que han destacado las ventajas de utilizar específicamente madera, entre ellos Criswell Davis, experto en frondosas estadounidenses reconocido internacionalmente, conferenciante y consultor en especificaciones de frondosas. En 2020, dio una charla TedX en la que recalcó la importancia de utilizar productos de madera en la construcción y el diseño:
When we bring hadrwoords and nature into our built spaces, we reaffirm our symbiotic relationship with trees and we reduce myriad stresses in our lives. American hardwoods in design around the world create extraordinarily beautiful spaces. It's important to remember that this beauty is achieved through an agricultural product that is renewing itselft constantly, is cleaning our air, and will last for generations. So I encourage you to incorporate wood into your built environments... comfortable in the knowledge that our American hardwood resource is well-managed and sustainable. (American Hardwood Improves Our Lives | Criswell Davis | TEDxDayton)
Since there are so many benefits to using sustainable materials, it's an easy choice to make when working on a project. With additional benefits provided by custom wood ceilings, tiles, and panels, it's only a matter of figguring out how you're going to incorporate them into your next design.
At Rulong International, we're proud to provice owners, designers, architects, contractors, and installers access to high-quality wood wall systems and other wood products, like ceiling and wall tiles. TO learn more about our products and find what you need for your project, contact our team.

¿Qué son los materiales de construcción sostenibles?

Los edificios ecológicos reducen el impacto negativo sobre nuestro entorno natural a través de su diseño, construcción o funcionamiento cotidiano. Cuando se hacen excepcionalmente bien, los edificios ecológicos pueden incluso contribuir a un impacto positivo.

Green buildings use sustainable building materials that have a low environmental impact and have most, if not all, of the following attributes:
  • Natural
  • Non-Toxic
  • Seguro
  • Duradero
  • Reutilizable
  • Reciclable
  • Renovable
Aunque la madera se ha convertido en una opción cada vez más popular, otros materiales de construcción sostenibles preferidos son el corcho, el ferrock, la paja, la piedra y la tierra apisonada. Dependiendo de su proyecto, es probable que pueda incorporar muchos de estos materiales en su construcción y diseño para obtener un resultado final más limpio y ecológico que seguirá demostrando su mérito con el paso del tiempo.
  • Fabricación responsable con el medio ambiente
  • Sustainable manufacturing is defined by the EPA as "the creation of manufactured products through economically-sound processes that minimize negative environmental impacts while conserving energy and natural resources."

    Hoy en día, el acto de fabricar de forma responsable con el medio ambiente ha traspasado las fronteras de las empresas, y muchas crean objetivos de sostenibilidad y fijan fechas para alcanzarlos.

    The EPA has noted that "[a] growing number of companies are treating 'sustainability' as an important objective in their strategy and operations to increase growth and global competitiveness. This trend has reached well beyond the small niche of those who traditionally positioned themselves as 'green,' and now includes many prominent businesses across many different industry sectors. In many cases, these efforts are having significant results."

    Además de atraer a más clientes, conseguir más negocio y obtener una ventaja competitiva, muchas empresas pueden contar con otros beneficios de la fabricación responsable con el medio ambiente, como la reducción de los costes operativos a largo plazo, la obtención de créditos fiscales y el reconocimiento de la marca.

    Nuestro compromiso con la sostenibilidad es firme desde que obtuvimos el certificado FSC de Cadena de Custodia en 1998. Si desea más información sobre nuestros sistemas sostenibles de techos y paredes de madera, póngase en contacto con nuestro equipo.
