2020 has been a landmark year for sustainable and responsible manufacturing, and with the new awareness around both wellness and climate change, 2021 is likely to follow suit. A host of large corporations have made significant commitments and pledges over the last year, including Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Salesforce. With these business looking to in turn influence their partners, vendors, and customers, and organizations like the AIA recommending new frameworks like the Materials Pledge, the ripple effects will likely be felt in specification and procurement on architecture and design projects across verticals.

Of course, every client will set sustainability priorities that fit their own roadmap, so it’s lucky that manufacturers have worked hard to check several boxes with their offerings. With high recycled content, carbon neutral processes, and red list–free ingredients, these products and initiatives provide great options for your next project.
