Materials in Mind exists to accelerate the uptake, use and visibility of environmentally sustainable and resilient material approaches in building projects. 
 
We are motivated by traditional and innovating systems that add value through recycling, reuse and industrial symbiosis, contributing to a more circular economy.  Our work can enable healthy, context-driven material choices within built environment projects.

“We seek out best practice and lessons from a wide spectrum of projects to support our clients in addressing critical challenges. In particular those challenges relating to materials and resource systems. We believe that our clients want to make a difference and inspire their sector and wider communities. Our extensive network and partner organisations includes many of the region’s most pioneering projects, people and firms”.
