Welcome to episode 61 of the Green & Healthy Places podcast in which we explore the themes of wellbeing and sustainability in real estate and hospitality.
I’m your host, Matt Morley, founder of Biofilico wellness real estate, and this week I’m in Athens talking to London-based Phanos Hadjikyriakou, Co-Founder and CEO of 2050 Materials, an online database of sustainable building materials and intelligent tools that help architects and designers in their efforts to create low-carbon, circular buildings and interiors.
We discuss the genesis of the company, the unmet need it addresses and the problems it tries to solve, such as toxic building materials and those that are especially damaging to the environment when viewed from a Life Cycle perspective, considering its extraction, use phase and disposal options at its end of life.
We also cover some of the many sustainable certification systems out there now for building products as well as how Artificial Intelligence could start to leverage this type of database to propose sustainable, healthy solutions to architects and designers in the not too distant future.
