Sustainable Design Resources

I found my article on Science Daily. It is the Catalogue of Sustainable Design Resources Developed. The article discusses how Jakki Dehn has been researching sustainable design for 17 years and is launching Rematerialise. Rematerialise is a catalogue of eco-friendly materials for use in the construction industry. Some of the things that are in the catalogue are insulation made from mushrooms, kitchen tops created from recycled glass, scaffolding board made from recycled polymers and many other things. The research was don at Kingston University in London. The materials that they discussed in the article are very good quality. So not only are they doing good by using recycled materials but they are making them into more useful items that will last a long time.
