MECLA Innovative Building Materials Challenge

The MECLA Innovative Building Materials Challenge brings together the construction supply chain to learn about these new innovative materials and how they can be used. With a keen focus on new small and medium sized enterprises, the MECLA Innovative Building Materials Challenge is an opportunity for companies to share their products with architects, designers, contractors, investors and builders, educating them on the possibilities for use.

The built environment accounts for roughly 40% of global emissions. Using lower carbon and innovative materials in construction is a crucial part of the decarbonisation journey for the industry. New suppliers of building materials are emerging all over Australia with innovative solutions that can help drive down the carbon embodied by construction projects.

This event featured 7 different companies: Australian Hemp Masonry, House of Bamboo, MST Bar, Reynard Wood, MCi Carbon, XLAM and Brickworks.
