Accord Housing Association has secured planning permission for a ground breaking development of virtually plastic free affordable homes in Redditch, UK.
Carl Taylor, Assistant Director New Business at Accord said: "We have been investing in low carbon housing solutions for many years. Our aim for these homes is to develop a low carbon, low plastic model for providing affordable homes on a large scale."
The new homes will have plastic free alternatives installed such as wooden kitchen units and window frames, wiring using a mineral based insulation rather than the usual plastic and solar thermal heating systems which will provide low running costs.
