Container homes reduce construction waste by 50-70%

Updated: Dec 13, 2024

Building a S.I. Container Builds' tiny home using a repurposed shipping container provides significant reductions in waste.

Here's a breakdown of the waste data.


Shipping Container Tiny Home:

  • Typically produces less construction waste, as the primary structure is pre-built


Stick-Built Home:

  • Construction waste can be significant, contributing to GHG emissions through the disposal of materials like wood scraps, concrete, and other unused materials


Waste Reduction Estimate: A container home can reduce construction waste by 50-70%, translating to lower indirect GHG emissions.
