Durable
Durability of an item or material is its ability to withstand wear, tear, heavy use, and still remain usable. It can refer to many materials, including functional and aesthetic aspects of a project. Choosing durable materials is an important green building strategy. Long lasting materials do not require frequent replacement, which means less demand on new resources and less waste to be recycled or placed in landfills.
