What are sustainable materials?

Sustainable materials are those that can be sourced, produced, and used in a way that is environmentally and socially responsible. These materials are often renewable, recyclable, biodegradable, or have a lower environmental impact compared to traditional materials. Examples of sustainable materials include bamboo, cork, organic cotton, hemp, recycled plastic, and reclaimed wood. Sustainable materials can be used in a variety of products such as clothing, furniture, packaging, and building materials. By using sustainable materials, we can reduce our carbon footprint and create a more sustainable future for our planet.
