Translation of "matériau à empreinte flexible " (French → English) :

By reducing the carbon footprint of all federal buildings, the government would promote implicitly the use of wood, because wood is the only building material that will store carbon in its fibres.

121. Recalls that construction has a big ecological footprint, as it consumes large quantities of non-renewable natural resources and energy and is responsible for substantial carbon dioxide emissions; recalls that the use of renewable building materials reduces the consumption of natural resources and environmental damage; urges the Commission, therefore, to take better account of the low-emission character and energy efficiency of building materials over the whole of their life cycle, and to promote the use of ecologically sustainable, renewable and low-emission materials such as wood in construction; recalls that wood binds carbon ...[+++]as it grows, so that it is a carbon-neutral material;

3.2.2. Any reinforcing interlayer of a flexible fuel line shall be protected against corrosion either by a cover or by using a corrosion resistant material for the reinforcement(s), e.g. stainless steel.

The template shall be made of a thin flexible sheet material that easily bends to a single curvature in any direction.

The template should be made of a thin flexible sheet material that easily bends to a single curvature in any direction.

I will spend a little bit of time talking about carbon because specifying carbon and carbon footprint, in our view, is the primary tool in advancing a wood first culture and creating a public awareness of its many benefits.
