Material Passports in Practice

14 May 2026
Material Futures Stage
Material Futures

Orms will present the progress and emerging outcomes of their extensive research on materials passports. With industry templates recently released, and hosting an ongoing working group, the team have been testing and applying work to live projects. It moves the conversation forward from material salvage to practical application across projects of varying scale, from office fit-outs to more complex developments.

Delegates will gain insight into:

  • how material passports are being implemented in live projects, including what a working material passport database looks like in practice
  • challenges associated with creating and maintaining these systems
  • key lessons emerging from projects currently in progress

Attendees will also hear perspectives from a range of project stakeholders, highlighting how different disciplines engage with material passports and where value is being realised. The session will feature a physical demonstration of material passports installed within a studio environment, offering a tangible example of how circular principles can be embedded into everyday practice.
