Visit · Sustainability, circularity & material advisers
Look beyond the sustainable material. Examine what the better choice is.
The material transition becomes more complicated as claims increase. Biobased, recycled, circular, low-carbon and regenerative do not in themselves say which choice is better within a specific project.
Context is everything
A good material choice asks you to look at origin, CO₂, health, land use, lifespan, detachability, reuse, performance and availability in conjunction.
Matter of How for advisers
Sometimes the answer is a different material. Sometimes less material, reuse or another design decision. Matter of How makes space precisely for that broader weighing.
