We have been on a 3 year journey with the Living Building Challenge carrying out materials research. As a result the online transparency movement for the building industry, named Declare, has grown in New Zealand as more suppliers are willing to join.
You can find Red List Free materials to put on your building project by going to https://living-future.org/declare/. Be sure when you choose a product you see that the Declare Label is marked Red List Free or LBC compliant to ensure it is healthy.
