  2. Sustainable materials are materials that:
    1. Can be produced and used in a way that minimizes their environmental impact and maximizes their positive contributions to society.
    2. Are often characterized by their ability to be regenerated, recycled, or reused and their low environmental impact throughout their life cycle1.
    3. Have the least amount of energy consumption, lack of emissions, and waste, and continue to be created or grow rather than deplete their stocks2.
    4. Can be natural materials found in nature, renewable materials from renewable sources, or harmless and non-toxic materials3.
    5. Are part of a systematic approach called Sustainable Materials Management (SMM) that aims to use and reuse materials more productively over their entire life cycles45.
