renewable materials

Renewable materials are resources that can replenish themselves naturally over time, ensuring they’re available for future use. Examples include wood from sustainably managed forests, cotton from plants, and bio-based plastics made from crops. Unlike fossil fuels, which take millions of years to form and can deplete, renewable materials can be harvested and replaced more quickly. This makes them more environmentally friendly, as they often result in lower greenhouse gas emissions and less waste. Using renewable materials supports a sustainable economy and helps reduce our reliance on finite resources.
