With over 60% of the world’s building projects expected to integrate some form of environmentally-friendly feature within their designs by 2018, the market for green building products is unquestionably one of the construction industry’s biggest areas of focus.

In anticipation of growing industry demand, Zureli, a global online marketplace for green building products, services and technology has launched. The new platform will connect members of the building and construction industry giving them ideas and information to help them achieve sustainability goals, as well as creating a unique community centred around the sector.

“Zureli’s mission is to create a one-stop shop where products, services and technology that have a positive impact on buildings, society and the environment in particular, are available. We want to champion the green building movement and create a commercial focal point for it,” said Seb Worthington, CEO of Zureli.

The launch of Zureli is set against the backdrop of a global construction industry whose output volume is expected to grow by more than 70 per cent – to $15 trillion – by 20253.

Visitors to the website will be able to browse through a broad range of relevant products and services covering building, renewable energy, construction and other vertical markets as the platform develops.

“In light of recent environmental initiatives – both proposed and implemented – and landmark events such as the UN Paris Agreement, the transition to a low carbon economy is unstoppable. We see an irrepressible shift towards green building practices and it is also an exciting opportunity to engage with this rapidly growing and very important industry,” said Cash van Halder, COO of Zureli.
