Introducing This Is No Longer Speculative: 24 bio and by-product based materials for 2024.

Graphic featuring the phrase

Throughout 2023, we’ve listened to your questions at our seminars and roundtables, partner CPDs and lunch & learns. Across the board, a message from you - our community - has rang out, loud and clear: all of us in the built environment, together, must build better.

While we realise that sustainability is a complex arena of many moving parts, since Material Source first started, we’ve given a platform, and a voice, to those blazing a trail in developing bio and by-product based alternatives to the materials we rely upon every day. We feel it’s our responsibility to bring new, innovative materials of this nature to the fore. It’s in our DNA.

Starting tomorrow, we will do just this. Not all of the materials we share are market ready. Some are in their embryonic stage. But in highlighting their possibilities, our hope is that they – and others like them - will go on to be manufactured and secure the EPDs and certifications needed for specification, to help support a brighter future.

Over the next 24 days, we will move the agenda forward with 24 ideas for 2024.

There is no time like the present. We must act now.

This. Is. No. Longer. Speculative.
