Material + Product Analysis
Material Transparency
The 3 pillars of sustainability are social, economic and environment. Organisations are now expected to understand and report on the ethics within their supply chain, production processes, carbon emissions and material compositions of their products.
Transparency and tracking of materials allows your company to deliver quantifiable data to stakeholders, leaving no room for greenwashing. The EU and parts of the US are now looking at sustainability from a financial impact as emission tariffs are put into place. Components of a product are also becoming an asset as waste becomes the responsibility of businesses.
By understanding the materials and finishes being used in your products also enables you to consciously source and design end of life cycle solutions into products.
Karie and team audit and analyse existing ranges as well as advise on new product development. Working alongside you and your suppliers to deliver the ingredients of each product, highlighting any materials or chemicals of concern. We work to find alternatives and educate your design team on sustainable sourcing so environmental processes are integrated into your product research and development.
