BioTwin Hemp-Based Stud 
The name says it all — it’s a stud made of hemp, a lower-carbon alternative to using steel studs. “It kind of looks like a stud, kind of, but instead of being metal, it's made of discarded hemp,” Freed says. “It's an agricultural waste product, but you screw into it the way you normally would.”

Front Sustainable Building Materials 
Their collection of circular materials includes bricks constructed from at least 60% waste, ceramic tiles made from at least 95% waste, and plastic panels made from 100% recycled PVC waste.

Glavel  
It’s gravel made from foamed glass aggregate; a lower-carbon replacement for traditional fill and insulation.“What I love about it is, it is such a simple solution to a very unsexy product,” Freed says. “Instead of using gravel, which has to be mined out of the earth and has a huge carbon impact, this is essentially recycled glass slag [industrial glass waste], that normally would be thrown away. They essentially make it into glass gravel and it drains better than regular gravel, it's lighter than regular gravel, and it makes for better backfill. … To me, to me, it’s a no-brainer.”

Bio-Glass 
These circular glass slabs are made from recycled glass — and can then be recycled themselves. They’re versatile, too, suitable for use as countertops, external facades, wallcovering, and floors.

Algenovas Algae Panels 
Algae and agricultural waste are married together to create these biocomposite materials, which are low-carbon and formaldehyde-free.  “A brilliant, brilliant woman named Helen [Banner] from Caltech first studied as an architect. Then she got into bioengineering. She got her Ph.D. in bioengineering, because … she's brilliant. And at Caltech, she invented this algae-based panel that she calls Algenovas. And now we’re trying to figure out, like, what can we build with this cool algae-based technology? And it turns out there's a lot of cool stuff that we could do,” Freed says. And it’s true; the materials can be used in wall cladding, furniture, packaging, and construction. “Algae is one of the most abundant resources on Earth. Why wouldn’t we build out of it?

Ekoa by Lingrove 
Made from flax and plant resins, this high-performance composite material can be used on walls, ceilings, and millwork, and in product design. According to Freed, it’s “a low-carbon, biophilic, healthy product that is also durable, affordable, and beautiful.”

Anduba Wallcoverings
Stunning and sustainable? These wallcoverings are noteworthy on both fronts. “It's a non-PVC wallcovering and I hate PVC — and you can quote me on that,” Freed says, adding, “The patterns are insanely beautiful.” Anduba works with Indigenous artists from Mexico, Brazil, and America; artists participate in design decisions, retain copyright to their work, and earn above the industry standard. “That’s wallcovering with a story. I sent this around to every interior designer within Cannon, and they were like, falling in love with it. It’s very charming.”

Havwoods’ Treeazzo Wood Flooring Collection 
It’s a twist on terrazzo: This product is made from resin mixed with wood chip waste. Crafted with a plywood or fiber cement backing, Treeazzo can be used for furniture and cabinetry, or on floors or walls.

Durra Panel
One hundred percent recyclable and biodegradable, these wall and ceiling panels provide insulation against heat and sound. They’re crafted from reclaimed wheat straw and, Freed says, they happen “to be very strong … you can build a lot of cool stuff with it.”

Impact Acoustic’s Archisonic Mycelium Acoustic Tile
Made from fungal roots and organic waste, these concave acoustic tiles offer sustainability and style.

Pinnacle Paints’ Graphenstone  
Made with a lime base, these eco-friendly paints absorb carbon dioxide and help improvide indoor air quality. 

Carnegie Xorel 
Carnegie offers PVC-free textiles, and their bio-based Xorel fabric has garnered sustainable acclaim — it’s the first textile to earn the Living Product Challenge Certification, and it’s Cradle to Cradle Certified.
