Green Construction Breakthrough

Now Tucson will be known worldwide for its commitment to going green. This desert city is stepping up in a big way. It is leading the charge and setting the pace in the race toward sustainable living.

One of the ways that Tucson is leading the way is through its partnership with ByFusion, a company that turns discarded plastic into construction-grade building blocks. This innovative project is a win-win for the environment and the economy, and it shows that there are sustainable solutions to the plastic pollution crisis.

ByFusion’s technology can be used to recycle a wide variety of plastic materials, including those that are typically difficult to recycle. This means that a much larger portion of Tucson’s plastic waste can be diverted from landfills and incinerators. In addition to the environmental benefits, this project also has the potential to create jobs and boost the local economy. ByFusion estimates that the project will create 25 new jobs in Tucson. The company also plans to purchase materials and services from local businesses, which will further benefit the community.

In addition to the environmental and economic benefits, this project is also a great opportunity for the LGBTQ community. Tucson is a diverse and inclusive city, and this project is a way for the community to come together and make a difference. Wouldn’t it be great to see a “Rainbow Build” using these blocks! By recycling plastic and using ByFusion’s building blocks, we can all help to create a more sustainable future for Tucson and beyond.

Here are some of the benefits of using ByFusion building blocks:

• They are made from recycled plastic, so they are a more sustainable option than traditional concrete blocks.
• They are strong and durable, so they can be used for a variety of projects, including affordable housing, green homes, commercial buildings, and retaining walls.
• They are easy to install, so they can be used by anyone, regardless of their skills or experience.
• They are cost-effective, so they are a good option for budget-minded builders. Great for more affordable housing.

If you are looking for a sustainable and affordable building material, then ByFusion building blocks are a great option. They are a great way to help Tucson achieve its goal of becoming a more sustainable city, and they are a great way to show your support for the LGBTQ community.

PS. The new ADU law in Tucson AZ allows small 2nd homes on any residential lot, these blocks could be an awesome option.
