Material selection is a key lever in reducing the environmental impact of buildings. Increasingly, attention is turning to bio-based and rapidly renewable materials as viable alternatives to conventional options.

This session explores the benefits of these materials, including lower embodied carbon and improved sustainability outcomes. It also addresses considerations such as durability, sourcing and certification.

Attendees will gain a better understanding of how these materials can be integrated into projects without compromising performance or aesthetics. The session highlights real-world applications and emerging trends.

As sustainability targets become more ambitious, material innovation will play a central role.
