Sustainable Office Design: Using Natural and Recycled Materials

As we get closer to needing to achieve net-zero by 2030 and an increased emphasis is placed on businesses becoming environmentally friendly, natural and recycled materials have becoming even more important.

Natural and recycled materials such as glass, wood, metals, ceramics, hemp to name just a few are becoming increasingly prevalent in sustainable office design to help achieve the net-zero goal.

In many of our projects, we make sure to either reuse materials and use natural materials where possible. Our University of Hull EEI project is a great example of creating a sustainable office design using natural materials and recycled materials which we received a SKA Gold rating for.
