This principle is about using materials from sustainable sources and promoting products which help people reduce consumption.

For example: procurement, sustainable production and consumption, circular design of products and services (including safe and responsible sourced materials, recycled content), supply chain, packaging, sharing economy

One Planet Goals for materials and products:

  • Easy and accessible sharing of resources to reduce consumption of materials
  • All materials and products chosen for positive social and environmental benefit or for reducing negative impact
  • Promote materials and products that are not toxic to humans or wildlife at any stage in their lifecycle
  • Support a circular economy prioritising upcycling, reuse and recycling (Cradle to cradle)
