NOVEMBER 2024CONSTRUCTIONBUSINESSREVIEW.COM6Mould remediation is crucial for healthy indoor environments, especially in damp regions like Europe. There is a growing trend toward eco-friendly, sustainable alternatives to traditional chemical-based methods. These green solutions protect indoor air quality and minimise environmental impact, aligning with Europe's broader ecological stewardship and sustainability commitments.Sustainable mould remediation techniques utilise non-toxic cleaning agents like hydrogen peroxide and vinegar and mechanical methods such as dry ice blasting and HEPA vacuuming for eco-friendly solutions. Preventative measures, such as enhanced ventilation, using green building materials, moisture control, and biodegradable mould barriers, are critical in curbing mould growth and supporting long-term sustainability.European environmental policies, including the European Union's Green Deal, emphasise the importance of sustainable practices across the construction, housing, and healthcare sectors. Mold remediation companies increasingly turn to green solutions to meet regulatory requirements and respond to consumer demand for environmentally responsible products and services. Organisations such as the European Environmental Bureau (EEB) and various national agencies advocate for stricter controls on harmful chemicals in household products, promoting safer alternatives that benefit both people and the planet.As environmental awareness continues to grow, the future of eco-friendly mould remediation in Europe is expected to evolve further. Advancements in biotechnology may drive the development of more effective natural agents for mould control, eliminating the need for hazardous chemicals. European policymakers will likely continue influencing industry standards, pushing for greener, more sustainable remediation practices.This edition, Mould Remediation and Testing 2024 features Action Dry further exploring how a collaborative approach to mould management should be a cornerstone of any construction strategy. The magazine also presents insights from Rocky Plemons, Vice President of Construction, Integrated Services, Fluor Corporation, and Jakob Nielsen, Global Head of HSE, Northland Power.
