Speaker: Purva Chawla Jain

Description: Participants compare biobased, earthen, waste-based, and carbon-negative materials and learn to evaluate salvaged and circular products using Environmental Product Declarations, health and transparency certifications, and related documentation. These skills help architects identify material ingredients and environmental impacts, assess whether products are appropriate for their intended use, and avoid specifications that may introduce hazardous substances or unacceptable performance risks.
