Problem Addressed

2050 Materials tackles the lack of structured and easy-to-consume data around the sustainability performance of building products. While there is a significant amount of data available, it is often not utilized by designers due to its complexity and its dispersion across multiple sites. 2050 Materials democratises sustainable design by providing simplified metrics on all building products in a format that everyone can understand and use during their design and specification phases.

Solution Overview

2050 Materials provides the largest database of sustainable building products with digitized environmental and health data. This empowers architects to design and specify in line with the climate emergency by considering these data points at the earliest stage.

The solution works both as a standalone solution as well as an integration with other tools (e.g. BIM software). It can reduce embodied carbon emissions and increase alignment with specific benchmarks (e.g. LETI). Additionally, it is the first platform to go beyond carbon through observing circularity metrics of buildings, as well as some health aspects (e.g. VOCs etc.).

The solution is free for architects, designers and contractors. 2050 Materials can offer this as a free product through working with manufacturers who then list their product information to be verified and simplified.

Case Study

2050 Materials has worked with several offices like Perkins&Will, TP Bennet, BDP etc. on many early stage projects. As a young solution (launched in 2022) these projects have not been finalized and can therefore not be published yet.

This page presents data, evidence, and solutions that are provided by our partners and members and should therefore not be attributed to UKGBC. While we showcase these solutions for inspiration, to build consensus, and create momentum for climate action, UKGBC does not offer commercial endorsement of individual solutions.
