Sustainability? Look to Ecolect
No comments · Posted by Keith Bretzius in Environment, Innovative Companies, Material

Are you looking to gain an environmental advantage but never know where to look for guidance and material? Ecolect is a great site with a simple mission: “To provide the tools and resources that make it easier for you to design responsibly.”
They have created a Material NutritionLabel™ which is based on proven facts that can determine the environmental impact of a product or material. I strongly believe sustainability is no longer an ideal but needs to become a reality. The objective of this company will help that to be realized. The site also mentions their service provides:
- An easy-to-use website featuring only materials with sustainable attributes, a place that stimulates discussion about defining sustainability and is a source of accurate information
- A place for you to contribute user reviews and images of materials you use
- Helpful case studies on successful sustainable design
- An informative blog that discusses how design and ecology affect the world
This is a great concept and I am eager to monitor this site and the future of how we rate and use sustainable materials.
