Goals & Principles

Build

Use higher grade, bespoke material options only for longer duration projects

For temporary/short-term projects: prefer biodegradable and/or recyclable material

Consider renting when working with electronics for temporary use

Prefer ethically made, non-toxic materials (FSC/PEFC)

Find sustainable materials through our reference library

Source local production partners in order to reduce transport footprint

Seek suppliers and partners who apply sustainable practices themselves

Consider material sustainability in the context of its application

Check the impact of the material choices against a database

Choose materials that have been recycled or used previously

Be conscious of the volume of materials used
