Workshop: Transparency Is the New Black

The Workshop: Transparency Is the New Black: Ingredient Disclosure, Red List and Material Health will take place on January 11th, 2018 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S.

Industry expert Andrea Cooper, who leads the Declare program and Materials Petal for the International Living Future Institute, will be visiting Pittsburgh to shed light on the new ingredient transparency requirements of various green building rating systems and how you can position your company to gain access to this market opportunity. Andrea will provide advice on avoiding common roadblocks and offer step-by-step instruction on the process for achieving a Declare label with Red List Free status. Learn as we share the experiences of multiple manufacturers, and discuss feedback received from stakeholders. While incredibly valuable to manufacturers of building products, this event’s content will be relevant to all manufacturers, architects, designers, building owners and sustainability professionals.

This is the first workshop in a three-part series, The Building Blocks of Living Products, hosted by the Pittsburgh Living Product Hub, established in partnership between ILFI and the Green Building Alliance to accelerate the Pittsburgh region’s transformation into a center for sustainable manufacturing. The second workshop will explore the concept of Handprinting.
