One Planet Products
Overview
“One Planet Products helps its members to purchase and specify green construction products and services easily and affordably and helps them build knowledge in sustainability”
What we do
One Planet Products was developed BioRegional. It is an award winning not-for-profit social business; managed as a member-led club it enables members to specify and purchase environmental construction products, materials and services more cost effectively and easily, reducing the environmental impact of developments.
What are the benefits?
One Planet Products allows members to select sustainable products quickly without the need for carrying out expensive and time consuming research themselves. All the products have been assessed against the One Planet Living principles and the website allows members to compare listed products rapidly and effortlessly, including energy, carbon and water savings, cost, lifetime and payback periods. Suppliers benefit from direct access to members who are seeking the best products to help them build sustainable homes.
Why do we need One Planet Products?
Housing currently produces around one third of the UK’s carbon dioxide emissions adding to the effects of climate change. By encouraging the use of low-energy materials, innovative resource-saving devices and high quality construction methods, One Planet Products aims to reduce the environmental impact of the UK housing stock.
Our credentials
