What’s better; a chair made of polyurethane, finished oak, powder coated steel, or post consumer recycled polypropylene? How do we in industry, from designer to manufacturer, decide? Making things have a lower impact is complex. Not because it’s impossible to do, but because we don’t have all the information to actually know what’s best.
We are working on the answer by creating an open tool called Material Index that makes material decisions simpler.
Because we believe that sustainable material decisions should be equally easy and convenient for all designers.
