Ecological materials for interior design use : impact of wood and recycling materials, for people lives and the environment
| Resumo: | Ecological materials are materials that have good performance, manufacture methods, application and are recycled, while having only a low impact on the environment and being safe for their users. Eco friendly-materials can be separated into different categories and hold recyclable materials, materials which are free from dangerous substances, materials made with low energy consumption, made in clean conditions, materials that chasten contaminated air and water and materials which are competent and resource-saving while still granting high representation. Materials that we use in our surrounding have a big effect on how we notice and see our the area around us and how it affects us. By progressive educating on the benefits of a non-toxic environment on our health and comfort, positive changes can be implemented in all areas of human lives, with environmentally friendly houses being at the center of attention. The use of appropriate materials in interiors can help create relaxing, healthy atmosphere in homes that is propitious to a feeling of well-being. According to a study on the environmental impact on mental health, humans prefer natural landscape to an artificial scenery. Contact with nature has tremendous effect on stress levels, well-being and overall health in humans. Second part of this work is investigating wood and recyclable materials. The most commonly used and understood material in interior design is wood. Wood is strong, natural, aesthetic, organic, readily accessible, lightweight and simple material to work. There are many different colors, textures, patterns, which gives many possibilities to use wood in interior design. When discussing ecological materials, it is necessary to mention recyclable materials. Global Recycling Network defines recycling as a ’Process by which materials that would otherwise become solid waste are collected, separated or processed and returned to the economic mainstream to be reused in the form of raw materials or finished goods.’’(Robbins, 2007) It means that recycling changes wastes into resource. There are many benefits of this process such as environmental, economical or social. Recycling is mostly associated with materials like wood, metal, glass, plastics and paper |
