Abstract
This paper provides a framework to evaluate the ethical implications of using different construction materials. Knowing information about the product lifecycle is crucial to identifying key environmental, social, economic, political, and practical concerns. Normative ethical theory can help assign priority to these issues so that consumers and developers can make an informed moral decision regarding their materials use.
