S3, E14: What Is Changing Materials?

Neal Maxwell, who has worked in the construction industry for more than 30 years, co-founded the non-profit organisation, Changing Streams, in 2018, after a life-changing trip to the Arctic.

Now in 2024, Neal Maxwell, and his team and partners, the University of Liverpool, are launching their new organisation, Changing Materials.

Tune into Neal now to hear all about Cbanging Materials – an exciting initiative that aims to promote sustainable materials while breaking down silos.

Changing Materials is a platform designed to aid architects, designers, and specifiers in transitioning towards sustainable construction by reducing the industry’s reliance on plastic.

With a comprehensive database, it offers solutions like recycled plastic, low- or zero plastic content materials, and alternatives such as metal and timber.

Developed in partnership with the University of Liverpool, the platform promotes the use of eco-friendly materials while aligning with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. It also provides a space for manufacturers to showcase their sustainable products.
