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 their journey through the supply chain and provide detailed reviews of your finishes to ensure your choices meet Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting standards. For Designers our advisory services offer pratical tools and processes to support the transition towards circular economy pathways, making sustainable design achievable and impactful.

  • CDT assesses the sustainability of your products, furniture and materials, identifying ways to reduce environmental impact and support circular processes within your collections.

  • Our team carefully reviews your finishes schedule, analysing materials, treatments and finishes to provide tailored recommendations that meet your current needs while embedding the principles of a circular economy.

  • CDT works with you to develop design strategies that embrace circularity, making your products and fit-outs easier to repair, reuse, and recycle, whilst connecting you with circular economy pathways for end of life and other opportunities.

  • Partner with CDT to create products designed with circularity in mind. We guide you through each step, ensuring your products are sustainable, functional and ready for market. Most importantly we teach you the processes so you can implement them into your production. In addition we offer a valuable network to support your circular transformation from linear to circularity models.
