Sustainability? Look to Ecolect

ecolectlogo

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:

  1. 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
  2. A place for you to contribute user reviews and images of materials you use
  3. Helpful case studies on successful sustainable design
  4. 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.
