AAC Block is the way of the future since, in Bangladesh, each year, 2840 million CFT of rich topsoil are destroyed to make clay bricks, which releases 11.59 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2). The burnt clay bricks lead the country towards food scarcity by consuming fertile top soil.
The Government of Bangladesh has also taken the initiatives to shut down bricks kilns by 2025 to save the environment and fertile top soil and has advised to use alternative bricks and blocks in the construction sites to lower the consumption of burnt clay bricks.
This is one of the major reasons to introduce AAC blocks and Panels in Bangladesh.
