Why is innovation for sustainable development needed?

 Everyone knows the damage we have done to and are continuously inflicting on our environment is irreparable. However, the collective realization of our civilization is praiseworthy. Today, we, as a society, are trying to mend our ways and pay back the environment. It will take a lot of time to create an idealistic infrastructure as we have built our society on the foundations of materialistic pleasures. Reverting to a simplistic society might not be possible for us anymore, but we can minimise our negative impact on the environment.

This noble intention of our society has given rise to a unique field of technology- innovation for sustainable development. The objective of this innovation is to design products that will fulfil our day-to-day needs while putting minimum pressure on the environment. This new approach has a lot of benefits not only for us but generations to come. The day is not far when we shall get used to sustainable products and will naturally reject the products which have even the slightest adverse effect on the environment.

Some of the recent successes can be seen in the development of sustainable products used in our houses. Real estate development and the construction industry have traditionally relied on natural resources. However, with the boom in housing, the pressure on natural resources increased day by day. Today, this has shown us the alternative path of using resources in a very effective manner. Some of the most common examples of sustainable products are as follows:

1.Solar Panels

Solar panels are probably the most brilliant innovation for sustainable development of our times. The sun can be harnessed for power with minimal impact on the environment. Today, houses are being fitted with solar panels, which can be effectively used for water pumping and supply.

2.LED lighting

The invention of LED lights has reduced the consumption of electricity to a great extent. Today, LED lights are not only considered good for the environment but also appealing to the eye.

3.Bamboos

Another praiseworthy innovation for sustainable development is the re-developed mechanisms for using bamboo as building materials. The use of bamboos in construction also provides a boost to the farmers and helps the planet.

4.Steel doors

It is an innovation that has been happily embraced by the common public. People use steel doors instead of traditional wooden doors in their constructions. Today, some brands have come up in that market to sell attractive steel doors.

Why Tata Tiscon steel is the best brand for TMT rebars?

  The use of TMT reinforced bars have improved the quality of building construction to a great extent. The most significant aspect of TMT reinforced bars, popularly known as TMT rebars, is the ribs on their surface. It provides the necessary anchorage when used in structures and prevents the slippage of concrete from the bars. As a result, the strength of the structure increases manifold. TMT rebars are currently being used in building construction, especially in areas that fall under risky zones in terms of the possibility of earthquakes. There has been an increase in the demand for building materials that can contribute to the construction of earthquake-resistant structures. It is as since the beginning of the last decade, construction activity has significantly increased in high-risk earthquake zones. Earlier, construction in such regions was quite limited. Today, the government has undertaken several developmental projects to increase the quality of life of the people residing in t

The expertise involved in building prefabricated modular houses in India

Image
Prefabrication homes or prefab homes mean ‘built before’ more or less. Prefab homes are first constructed in advance off-site, later delivered, and then built on site. In simple words, the material of construction is transported from the factory to the site where the home is to be assembled. Prefabricated homes are affordable, sustainable, and faster to build. With a surge of urbanization in India, accommodations have to be built faster, with modern features and innovative designs. Many industries and companies have started manufacturing components of prefab homes, providing them complete housing solutions and premium quality of living.  There are techniques to build prefab homes and one such technique to construct them is modular. The prefabricated modular houses in India are built section-wise; foremost walls and roofs are assembled. Every room or part of the home is built as an individual unit which is later on assembled on the home site. This technique of building homes looks like

The problems faced by graphene manufacturers in India

  The industrial world has finally acknowledged the benefits of graphene and has taken up its production quite seriously. A few sections of the industry are also going a step further to call graphene the wonder material of the new millennium. Indeed, graphene manifests quite a few unique characteristics. The material is flexible and lightweight, yet extremely hard and strong. At the same time, it is one of the superconductors of electricity. Since the inception of its commercial production, graphene has found its use in a large number of consumer industries. Today, you will find graphene in all the computers and electronic devices you use. It is also being used in water filtration and desalination plants as it can filter water effectively. Research is also going on to apply the utility of graphene in the defence sector. Nonetheless, graphene production has increased significantly in India in the last few years, thanks to the foresightedness of steel and other heavy metal manufacturers.
