In North America, every sample you return helps close the loop - redistributed to designers, shared with design schools, or responsibly recycled, so nothing ends up in a landfill.
Since 2019, we've redistributed more than 1.8 million samples and diverted over 1.4 million pounds of material.
“We consider our impact on people and the planet in everything we do. And we continue to ask ourselves how we can make our work an even greater force for good in the world.”
Rebecca Elie Best
EVP Sustainability, Material Bank
Material Bank was created to reduce inefficiency and waste in the sampling process. As we continue to innovate and grow, we consider the climate, human health, and social impact of design in all platform and corporate advancements we make. We're committed to supporting the design industry in reducing the negative effects of climate change through the partnerships we build and the programs we offer. We do this work alongside brand partners and design members who share this same passion and commitment to sustainability.
