The sustainability of a material takes into consideration:

  • The size of its carbon footprint, which is measured by some of the following:
  • Whether the material is renewable or not
  • The amount of energy used to produce it (carbon dioxide emissions)
  • The amount of water used to produce it
  • The amount of carbon emissions from its transport
  • Its longevity. Is it used once and then thrown away, or is it used over and over?
