| Sustainable Materials |
We take sustainability to mean the ability to meet the needs of the current generation without denying future generations the ability to meet their needs. Needs we define akin to Maslow's hierarch of human needs. One of our goals at EDI is to understand wthe specific role of different materials and how they can be used effectively to improve global sustainability. This includes rapidly renewable materials and low impact materials.
