Metroflor/Aspecta’s Clarke Chairs mindful MATERIALS Working Group

Calhoun, Ga. -- Arthur Clarke, Metroflor/Aspecta’s director of sustainability, is actively involved with two mindful MATERIALS (mM) volunteer working groups, which are tasked with growing and advancing this product sustainability database by augmenting and enhancing its usability, developing and expanding upon its content, providing resources and guidance to manufacturers and users, and communicating with the industry and with members of the mM Collaborative.

Clarke has served as chair of the mM Portal Working Group since September 2018 (alongside Co-Chair Eileen Quigley, currently of WeWork-NYC), and recently joined the mM Content Working Group. mindful MATERIALS (mM) is a free, global product library with aggregated information on human health and environmental impacts for products from leading manufacturers, vetted by experts. The intent behind mM is to make it easier for architects, designers and end-users to make informed product choices based upon sustainability and transparency data, while also giving stakeholders a voice by providing them with opportunities to submit regular feedback to guide mM goals, strategies and decisions.
