Materials Passports: Accelerating Material Reuse in Construction

Material Passports offer an opportunity to gather and organise data about materials contained within a building, which in turn enable material reuse. In this policy paper, we propose a series of recommendations which will enable meaningful material reuse.

Our ambition is to create a process that is clear enough to understand, simple enough to use and cost effective to implement, to ultimately change how we value our existing and future built environment.
