Healthy Materials Method Cards
You don’t have to have all the answers to start making healthier material decisions.
Developed by Healthy Materials Lab at Parsons School of Design, our free Healthy Materials Method Cards help you integrate material health into every phase of the design process.
Grounded in research and real-world best practices, these cards offer practical ways to approach material selection, guide conversations with stakeholders, and make healthier materials part of your everyday work.
Whether you’re planning a project, collaborating with a team, or just beginning to explore material health, this is a tool you can make your own and be a flexible resource you can return to at every stage of your work.
Download the cards, print them, and keep them within reach. Use them to ask new questions, challenge assumptions, and bring healthier material thinking into your next project.
