Material Reports
Material Reports from Source Conscience have been researched and written by our environmental scientist, Portia Davis.
The reports are intended as a guide for product designers & buyers of consumer products (including textiles and apparel) who are looking to understand the relative impact of raw materials.
Our reports are not intended for use by scientists or for LCAs or as the basis for further study. All data is approximate and all sources are noted at end of report.
Source Conscience is an independent start-up providing education, research and reporting on sustainability. Please support our sustainability efforts by purchasing and not sharing these reports beyond your organisation.
