In the urge of saving our planet from climate change, it is crucial to pull all the possible resources together and cooperate. Using sustainable building materials in interior design and construction helps to do it more efficiently. One of the great options for both commercial and residential projects is marble — the luxury material that will both help your company to create a perfect ambiance and help our environment. 

Many professionals in the architecture and interior design industry love marble for its amazing qualities and looks, but many wonder, is marble sustainable? The answer is yes!

So, How Sustainable is Marble? 

According to an independant environmental performance rating, the Green Guide, natural stone in general performs very well across a wide range of categories and usually scores “A” or “A+”, which makes it a quite sustainable building material.  Going even further, we discovered that there is even more potential to reduce emission in stone in the future. It will be possible by using electricity generated from renewable sources. 

Marble is an extremely durable material, with simple maintenance and precautions your marble flooring tile, walls, facades, and countertops will look brand new for decades. Not to mention, marble is unlikely to go out of style any soon — if not never! As you will not need to replace your marble products for quite a long time, using this sustainable building material in your project will cut the costs for you and reduce the impact on the environment by not contributing to the over-consumption. 

Marble is also a recyclable material! You may need to find a local processing center for natural stone, as not every recycling center will be able to take marble, but we believe that there are going to be more and more convenient places to recycle building materials.
