Plastic, despite its undoubted versatility, poses a serious threat to the environment due to its ubiquitous and non-biodegradable nature, with large quantities ending up in oceans and bodies of water daily. 

In response to this, there is a growing movement in architecture towards embracing plastic-free alternatives in the built environment. 

Various innovative solutions are emerging, such as bio-based tiles, zero-carbon bio-cement, acoustic byssus core tiles, natural clay plaster, and platforms like PlasticFree. 

These alternatives offer sustainable options with reduced environmental impact and are gradually gaining ground in the construction industry.
