Regeneration Over Extraction.

Suppliers must seek to:  Prioritise materials and products that restore, replenish, or enhance natural living systems.  Avoid extractive materials that degrade ecosystems, deplete finite resources, or cause long term environmental harm.  Use resource efficiently and maximise material lifespans through good design and appropriate material use  Demonstrate a clear transition plan away from extractive inputs where alternatives are not yet available.  Minimise embodied carbon in construction materials (e.g., concrete, steel, insulation).  Prioritise regenerative or circular construction materials (e.g., reclaimed steel, recycled aggregates, lower embodied carbon concrete alternatives, timber from regenerative forestry).  Avoid extractive materials linked to high impact mining (e.g., virgin aggregates, aluminium, PVC).  Seek to design for deconstruction,…
