Material Database Changes in 2025

Ongoing internal testing, and changing material supplier offerings, require the material database to be continuously updated.

To help customers make environmentally friendly material selections, the following property fields have been added to the material database. These new property fields are searchable with the existing search tools within the product.

Field Description
Biodegradable Is the material biodegradable?
Potential biomass-sourced feedstock - Minimum The minimum amount of the material that is potentially sourced from biological sources.
Potential biomass-sourced feedstock - Maximum The maximum amount of the material that is potentially sourced from biological sources.
Recycled content - Minimum The minimum amount of recycled content in the material.
Recycled content - Maximum The maximum amount of recycled content in the material.
Recycling method The method used to recycle the material.
Recycled source The stage (Post-industrial or Post-consumer) that the recycled content was collected.
Comments on Environmental impact Additional environmental information of interest to consumers of the material.

Note: As the property fields are new, not all material grades within the public database contain this information.
