In the ever-evolving landscape of clean technology, DIRTT Environmental Solutions stands out by addressing a less-discussed but critical sector: construction. Spearheaded by CEO Benjamin Urban, DIRTT aims to revolutionize the construction industry, which currently accounts for 37% of global carbon dioxide emissions. Traditional construction methods, relying heavily on gypsum board and steel studs, often lead to significant waste and environmental impact.
However, DIRTT’s innovative approach to interior construction focuses on sustainability through design for disassembly, ensuring that materials can be reused and do not end up in landfills.
DIRTT’s impact is evident through its projects, such as a significant endeavor in Texas that diverted 100,000 pounds of drywall waste from landfills, equating to a prevention of 85,000 pounds of carbon emissions. The company operates on a model of pre-manufactured construction solutions applicable across various verticals, including healthcare, education, government, and commercial office interiors. By emphasizing technology-enabled, off-site construction, DIRTT is not only reducing solid waste, which constitutes 40% of waste in the US but also advancing the sector towards a more sustainable future.
