Description
Do you ever wonder what happens to all those shipping containers that sit idly in the world’s busiest ports?
Did you know that these containers can now be repurposed and transformed into a new and sustainable housing solution?
Buildings made from old shipping containers are considered property and can be permanently fixed, appraised, and insured. They can also be built quickly, are well insulated, and are more durable. It’s all part of an ongoing effort to help everyone “think green” when it comes to buildings.
How can homeowners and businesses make the switch to green construction? What do they need to be aware of? Who can they turn to for consultation?
That’s why I’m talking to Jessica Lewis, CEO of Mobu Enterprises. Jessica is on a mission to help build greener and more sustainable homes and buildings. In this conversation, she highlights the benefits of using shipping containers in green construction and the impact of selecting sustainable materials on the planet.
