Bringing Sustainability
and Collective Impact Center Stage
mindful MATERIALS at NeoCon and Fulton Market’s Design Days — June 10-12
Designers have 111X the purchasing power of the everyday consumer. What if they had a clear way to choose materials aligned with their values? What if they had a Common Language, Clear Market Signal, and Connected Data? Imagine the ripple effects.
