RESET at the Covestro Workshop in ‘Design Shanghai’ – How to Quantify Sustainability

Representing RESET at Covestro’s booth during the Design Shanghai exhibition, Ryan Ni discusses how the RESET Embodied Standard enables stakeholders to make informed decisions about sustainable materials and products – highlighting how it effectively communicates project performance data to quantify sustainability in the built environment.

He also outlines the future of sustainable materials – emphasizing the impact of regulations like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and global environmental trends driving manufacturers toward sustainable development. This shift is influencing customer choices and making sustainable materials an industry priority.

Covestro's booth provides a platform for meaningful discussions on sustainability across diverse industries, fosters dialogue, and identifies collaborative opportunities. We thank Covestro for the opportunity to contribute to this important discourse about sustainability within the architecture and design community!
