Panel to Explore Post-Pandemic Expectations for Sustainable Building Products

Tarkett will participate in a webinar hosted by Ecomedes on Wednesday, February 3rd to discuss strategies for accelerating the use of sustainable building products. The panel discussion, with leading building product sustainability experts from Herman Miller, Tarkett and Saint-Gobain, will capture the manufacturers’ views of sustainable product purchasing, identify initiatives that address better information and transparency, debate the cost perception, and share expectations for the post-pandemic world.

According to a recent AIA survey, 79 percent of architects want to specify more sustainable materials, and 82 percent look to manufacturer websites as an information source, but only 59 percent are somewhat or very satisfied with what they find there. In addition, 59 percent still perceive sustainable products as too expensive. This webinar will explore what needs to be done to address these challenges, and how this will change as the world emerges from the coronavirus pandemic.
