Material Intelligence
Material Intelligence is a series of services offered by CDT to support transparency of materials and products within fit-outs and product development. We diligently assess the environmental impact of your materials, map material flow, and provide finishes reviews, ensuring your choices meet environmental, social, and governance reporting standards. Through advisory services, we also assist product and industrial designers with tools and processes for circular economy pathways.
