“This is an important book for anyone who wants to understand how to navigate the complexities of reducing our material impact on the planet’s ecosystems. It contains much knowledge and wisdom, as well as superb interviews with those at the cutting edge of developing the circular economy.” Mark Miodownik, author of Stuff Matters and Liquid “Materials & Sustainability contains vital clues to solve the most vexing puzzle of our age: meeting human needs with products that do not, by design, damage our health and destroy nature. It is highly readable, delightfully informative, and inspiring.” Wayne Visser, author of Thriving: The Breakthrough Movement to Regenerate Nature, Society and the Economy “This book will help readers make connections between the complex web of our material world and systems that underpin modern life. It’s a catalyst for meaningful engagement with sustainability that unpacks confusing issues in a clear, insightful, and actionable way.” Sioban Imms, CMF writer and strategist “Despite my 26 years in packaging, this book reinforces that there is so much more to learn! Kudos to the authors for sharing their wisdom to help readers understand the history of materials, which is key to developing sustainable packaging options.”— Cory Connors, Director of Sustainable Packaging, Orora Packaging Solution Materials & Sustainability lays out clearly, in terms that do not require detailed scientific knowledge, the abundance of materials that are available to manufacture “everyday” products. This book helps designers, producers, consumers, and policymakers through that complex web of choices and points them toward greater sustainability. David Newman, Chairman, European Bioeconomy Bureau
