In order to address the pressing issues of environmental sustainability and resource efficiency, the construction industry is increasingly embracing sustainable materials. This paper researches the most recent headways in supportable development materials, featuring their capability to change building rehearse. It investigates imaginative materials like cross-overlaid lumber, reused concrete, bio-based composites, and self-recuperating materials, stressing their natural advantages, execution, and financial practicality. These materials' environmental footprints are compared to those of conventional alternatives through life cycle assessments, highlighting their potential to cut down on waste and carbon emissions. The study also looks at certification programs like LEED and BREEAM that encourage the use of sustainable materials and regulatory frameworks. Real-world case studies provide insight into best practices and lessons learned by illustrating successful implementations. Technical limitations, market acceptance, and supply chain issues persist despite the significant progress. To further enhance the sustainability of construction practices, the paper explores future directions, including emerging trends and technological innovations, as well as solutions to these obstacles. This exploration adds to the developing collection of information in reasonable development, offering an exhaustive outline of current progressions and a guide for future improvement in the mission for greener, more eco-accommodating structure arrangements.
