The future of building must be both climate-positive and healthy. We were proud to partner with Healthy Materials Lab at Parsons School of Design, Metropolis Magazine, MASS Design Group, and other leaders for a critical Biobased Construction Roundtable during #NYCClimateWeek. The message was clear: transforming the built environment is a matter of both climate action and social justice. As our CEO, Lindsay Baker, shared: "We cannot live on this planet or find justice for communities without implementing biobased materials." The building industry contributes 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Moving forward requires us to go beyond circularity—it demands a commitment to non-toxic, healthy materials and policy shifts that drive market demand.
