Discover building materials that go beyond “less harm” toward real climate benefit, supporting human and ecosystem health, and challenging the extractive norms of construction.
Our Bio-Based & Circular Materials Database is a curated collection of materials we’ve been tracking for years, now refined and organized to share with the growing community of builders, designers, and policymakers advancing low-carbon construction. The database spotlights innovative products that store carbon, repurpose waste streams, and model regenerative design, offering practical examples of how to move the building sector toward circular, climate-positive systems.
