Creating a path to
planetary health.
OUR STRATEGY A materials economy for
people and the planet.
Our take-make-waste model of consumption is putting our communities and climate at risk.
Admitting our problem is the first step: to restore nature’s balance, we have to reexamine the impact that economic decisions have on planetary and human health.

Prioritizing equity in product design and selection protects marginalized communities and ecosystems, envisioning a future where conscious choices eliminate negative impacts.
Habitable spotlights plastic building materials on an international stage at the Global Plastics Treaty.
Habitable is in Geneva, Switzerland, to engage in efforts to support an ambitious Global Plastics Treaty. We are sharing our latest research with policy makers, scientists, and advocates about the high-volume of plastics used in the building and construction sector, and offering strategies and actionable solutions for healthier, non-plastic alternatives.
OUR SOLUTIONS Begin by changing
what we do next.
The impact of the materials economy on our communities and climate has reached a crisis point.
To rebalance the health of our planet, we must make and build things in a way that’s less harmful and more healthful.
BETTER TOGETHER
