Technological innovation and the environmentally friendly building material supply chain: Implications for sustainable environment

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between technological innovation and the supply chain of environmentally friendly building materials in the context of a sustainable environment. With the increasing need for more environmentally conscious construction practices, technological innovation plays a pivotal role in enhancing sustainability within the construction industry. Through an extensive literature review, it is found that the adoption of technological innovation in the supply chain of environmentally friendly building materials can have a positive impact on the sustainable environment. Technological innovation enables improved resource efficiency, reduced construction waste, and promotes the utilization of eco-friendly building materials. Moreover, this research highlights the crucial role of the supply chain in mediating the relationship between technological innovation and a sustainable environment. The supply chain plays a vital part in integrating technological innovation into construction practices, ensuring compliance with environmental standards, and fostering wider adoption of sustainable solutions. This study employs a quantitative analysis method, gathering data from various primary and secondary sources. The analysis results demonstrate a positive correlation between technological innovation and the supply chain of environmentally friendly building materials with regard to a sustainable environment. The implications of this research lie in providing a better understanding of the significance of technological innovation and the supply chain in achieving sustainability within the construction industry.
