(MM01) mindful MATERIALS Presents: How Sustainable Materials Become Standard - The mM Portal for Manufacturers (Part 1)

We have been talking for decades about scaling sustainable materials purchasing, but individual solutions won’t get us there. To make those words a reality, we’ll need collaboration and alignment by the whole industry.

That’s why we’re building a new mM Portal, powered by Ecomedes, and that’s why the data ecosystem is teaming up, a la Captain Planet, to bring you holistic sustainability data in a centralized location, translated into impact.

Enter your sustainability data once, it flows into the new mindful MATERIALS Portal, gets translated into the Common Materials Framework, and ultimately will flow into your product databases, firm libraries, all major workflow tools. Voila.

Plus, a Common Framework has the potential to actually align the certifications and standards we use — by highlighting their overlap and similarities. Imagine, a future where building certifications base their materials requirements in the same framework. Or owners use a single spec to ask for their needs, not 10 slightly different ones.

This session is for manufacturers, and any ecosystem participants that are ready to invest in, and leverage, their material sustainability who want to understand how this work ties into the broader sustainability ecosystem.

The Portal isn’t about building a shiny new tool. It’s about centralizing and solving our common material challenges. It’s about changing everything we’ve come to expect about how we create, connect, un
