The Study On The Issue Of China's Green Building Materials Development

Building materials industry, as one of the basic and substantial industries in our national economy, has become the essential part of our national economy system owing to the 50-year development. Because of its high energy consumption, heavy pollution and low efficiency, the traditional building materials industry has been badly hampered from advancing ahead for a long time. In recent years, the idea of Sustainable Development has been the global heat topic of the times that is shared by all countries throughout the world. In 1994, the Chinese government approved and promulgated China's Agenda 21, which announces it is the only way for enterprises to regard the realization of sustainable development as an important strategy.Based on the background of sustainable development and focused on the building materials industry, the specific economic field, the paper gives a detailed analysis to the existing problems concerning non-sustainable development happening in the traditional building materials industry and the root causing these problems, and it also proves the features of green building materials, with a view to develop green building materials markets to effect sustainable development in building materials industry in the mode of economic increase in accordance with environmental protection. The paper discusses the necessity and feasibility of developing green building materials in China. In comparison with the situation of the green building material markets in the developed countries, the paper analyzes the current situation, the features, the prospect and some main restrictive conditions of our green building materials market, based on which it gives some suggestions about how to develop the green building materials market. The paper develops in reviewing of the sustainable development theory and externality theory and then establishes the system of the theory, policy, economy, law and market principle concerning green building materials market development. It puts forward that environmental pollution externality should be internalized and introduces some internalization measures such as the life recycling management method and cleaner production. Finally, the paper discusses the strategic countermeasures for the opportunity and against the challenge we meet in the global environment protection situation and after China's entry into WTO to expand green building materials market in China.
