We are on a mission to empower communities for a greener tomorrow! 〜

Because Climate Change is Real and the time to act is now.
About
Founded in 2004, the Centre for Green Building Materials & Technology emerged from a critical need for awareness, knowledge, and resources in the realm of sustainable building materials and technologies. For over twenty years, we've harnessed our expertise to actively engage with local, national, and global communities, driving the change toward a more sustainable future!

Why do we do what we do?

















We must prioritize sustainability because the world can no longer afford to delay. With our planet facing a crisis—depleted resources, polluted air, and disappearing ecosystems—every effort counts. The Centre for Green Building Materials & Technology (CGBMT) has led this charge for over twenty years, advocating for an eco-friendly way of life.
Sustainability isn't merely about environmental protection; it's about ensuring a viable future for humanity. By adopting sustainable practices, we minimize waste, conserve essential resources, and foster healthier, more resilient communities. Embracing innovation and eco-technologies, such as natural materials and nature-centric solutions, enables us to create a greener and more sustainable present and future.
The moment to take action is NOW. We are the agents of change, and each step we take toward sustainability brings us closer to saving our planet.
