5th of June was declared as World Environment Day 42 years ago at the Environment Conference held in Stockholm in 1972. In our country, since 1978, it has been accepted as the Environmental Protection Week between June 5 and 11.
When we consider this particular concept in terms of our own industry, it is possible to say that the right material choices and correct insulation are the biggest investment for the future.
The concept of energy efficiency in the world is getting more and more important every day. In this context, nature-friendly buildings, which considerably reduce energy consumption, are also attracting attention because they offer a clean environment and a comfortable living space. Global warming, thirst, environmental pollution and rapid depletion of natural resources are making environmentally friendly buildings compulsory.
Today, especially in a period of increasing sensitivity towards global warming, It is often emphasized that at the beginning of environmental issues it is necessary to reduce carbon emissions and to minimize the use of petroleum derivatives. Energy efficiency in the buildings multiplies as the most effective tool for combating environmental problems. We know that it is possible to save half the energy at the premises and prolong the life of a building at least 2 times thanks to proper insulation practices.
Especially in recent years, many countries have taken bold steps on behalf of the environment, and the leaders emphasize “the importance of energy efficiency and proper insulation practices in the buildings as well as the choice of the most desperately reduced materials for the future of the world”. On July 2, 2009, in a White House announced in a press release that green energy, sustainability and innovation, will provide energy savings for new generation insulation materials and extend the life of concrete by 20-30 years. He also said that these materials should increase their share in the American market . These statements are both a big message for the construction industry and for the construction chemicals manufacturers and the waterproofing sector, and they include the right steps to be taken for the future.
Especially below grade waterproofing, underground city waste acids and sea water resistant systems that do not harm environment and ground water with oil derivative excretions are the forefront. The use of qualified and environmentally friendly “green” waterproofing materials, which have water impermeability values throughout the life of the concrete is increasing and getting more and more important every day.
Since the day we were founded, as part of our understanding of management, we believe that economic development must take place without destroying the our natural assets and the environment; We are proud of the fact that HYFIX Chemical Waterproofing Systems have the qualities that world leaders have described today.
