It focuses on recycling or upgrading used containers that would otherwise be nothing more than piles of discarded steel taking up space in some ports around the world. In addition, by recycling these steel structures, the need for bricks, wood and other building materials is reduced. This subsequently reduces the total implied energy costs associated with the home. While the use of recycled materials is a fundamental aspect of sustainable construction, there are several aspects related to container homes that need to be revisited.
