Material passports

Material passports are digital records that provide detailed information about the materials used in a building or product. They include data on the type, quantity, origin, and properties of materials, enabling easy identification and future reuse. Think of them as a "product passport" that helps owners, designers, and recyclers understand what materials are inside, promoting sustainability and circular economy practices. By knowing what's in a building, materials can be efficiently recycled or repurposed at the end of their life, reducing waste and conserving resources.
