Material passports are innovative documents that track the lifecycle of construction materials, promoting sustainability and resource efficiency in the built environment.
Unlike traditional waste management practices, material passports focus on preserving materials' value by cataloging their origin, composition, and usage history.
By providing insight into material characteristics and potential reuse opportunities, they enable better decision-making in design, construction, and demolition phases.
Through digitalisation, material passports streamline data accessibility, facilitating circular economy principles and reducing waste generation.
Embracing material passports creates a shift towards a more sustainable construction industry, where materials are valued resources rather than disposable commodities, ultimately contributing to environmental conservation.
