Using biodegradable materials for building projects on campus has some big challenges. Here are the main issues:

1. Cost Concerns:
   Biodegradable materials often cost more than regular ones. This can make it hard to stick to a budget.

2. Durability Issues:
   Some biodegradable materials might not hold up against weather and other tough conditions as well as traditional materials. This brings up worries about how long they will last and how much upkeep is needed.

3. Limited Availability:
   Finding good biodegradable materials can be tricky. This can slow down the process of getting what you need for the projects.

4. Regulatory Hurdles:
   Sometimes, the rules for building don’t include these new materials. This can make it harder to move a project forward.

Solutions:

• Teaming up with researchers can help cut costs by buying in larger amounts.
• Creating new mixed materials could make them stronger while still being good for the environment.
• Pushing for changes in the rules can help make it easier to use eco-friendly options in building plans.
