Better Materials Palette
As a proud signatory of the American Institute of Architects Materials Pledge, we are dedicated to specifying materials that prioritize human health, social equity, ecosystem well-being, climate health, and circularity.
The Better Materials Starter Palette serves as a curated guide to help you select healthier, more sustainable materials, saving time on research and decision-making. With a clear "Good, Better, Best" color-coding system, users can easily compare and optimize their choices across various product categories. Start with the top recommendations on the first page, and explore additional options on the second page for even more alternatives.
