Terry Swack reacted on thisWhen a compliment arrives in all caps, you know it’s heartfelt. Unlike the testimonials companies typically request and share, this one arrived unsolicited through our website—from Allison Para, LEED AP BD+C, LEED Administrator. After mistakenly landing on another platform and finding expired certificates, Allison turned to the Sustainable Minds Transparency Catalog and found what she was looking for: “I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR KEEPING YOUR CATALOG UP TO DATE & IMPROVEMENTS! I WENT TO ANOTHER PLATFORM BY ACCIDENT AND THOUGHT? BECAUSE THE CERTIFICATES WERE EXPIRED, ETC. LET ME GO TO SMTC. YOU HAD WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. THANK YOU.” Maintaining accurate, current data is challenging work. We usually hear from people when something is missing, so Allison’s unsolicited note meant a great deal to our entire data team. At Sustainable Minds, our goal is to make product transparency easy—to find, understand, and use. transparencycatalog.com Thank you, Allison, for taking the time to tell us.

Terry Swack reacted on thisTerry Swack reacted on thisNepal is grieving, and so am I. What has happened in Nepal is beyond words. A sudden flash flood has devastated entire villages and settlements, washing away homes, roads, bridges, power plants, and livelihoods built over generations. Hundreds of lives have been lost, and many families are still waiting and hoping for news about their loved ones. The full scale of the devastation is still unfolding. Preliminary analysis suggests that the flash flood was triggered by a glacier collapse. While there is still much to understand about what happened, it is hard not to connect this tragedy to the larger climate crisis. Glaciers across the Himalayas are melting and becoming increasingly unstable as temperatures rise. And this is where I am struggling with a simple question: Is this fair? Nepal contributes less than 0.1% of global greenhouse gas emissions, yet it continues to face some of the harshest consequences of a changing climate. More than 90% of Nepal's electricity comes from hydropower, around 46% of the country is covered by forests, and Nepal is among the world's leaders in EV adoption. Nepal has done so little to create this problem, yet its people are being asked to bear so much of its consequences. This tragedy has also made me reflect on why I am proud of the work I do. I work with manufacturers to identify environmental hotspots in their operations and products and find ways to reduce their emissions. Sometimes the impact of this work can feel minimal, but moments like this remind me why it matters. It motivates me to keep doing my part. For anyone looking for a way to help, one meaningful option is to donate to Nepal's Prime Minister's Disaster Relief Fund. This is an official relief channel established through the Office of the Prime Minister of Nepal, not a private fundraising campaign. By contributing through this channel, you can have confidence that your donation is going toward the government's ongoing responses, including rescue and relief efforts now and reconstruction and redevelopment in the months and years ahead. If you can donate, please consider doing so. If you cannot, sharing this message may help it reach someone who can. https://pmdrf.nchl.com.np My thoughts are with the families who have lost their loved ones, those still waiting for someone to come home, and the countless people working tirelessly on rescue and relief efforts. May these kinds of disasters never happen to any country or community, and may no one ever have to experience the pain of losing a loved one this way. #Nepal #ClimateChange #ClimateJustice #DisasterRelief #Sustainability #PrayForNepal

Terry Swack reacted on thisI'm honored to serve in this role on the HPDC Technical Committee. I was involved in building the very first iteration of the HPD Builder and the HPD Repository over a decade ago, before even the incorporation of HPDC itself. For many years I've been the lead developer of Pharos, the chemical hazard database and API which, among other things, powers the hazard listings in HPDs. At a time when HPDC was in the process of evolving its standard from static PDF documents to a more dynamic interface, and coming up on many of the same technical challenges we've long wrestled with at Habitable, it felt like a natural time for me to get more involved when I applied to join this committee two years ago. In the past two years, it has been a joy to tackle some of the hairier challenges of this work of standard-building with a diverse group of folks in the ecosystem, and it has brought me more insight into the perspective of manufacturers and third-party consultants working to meet the demands of material transparency. I'm excited to continue in this effort as co-chair.Terry Swack reacted on thisCongratulations to Habitable's Sarah Gilberg on being named Co-Chair of the HPDC's Technical Committee! Sarah has served on the Technical Committee for the past two years, helping preserve the integrity of the Health Product Declaration and shape the standards that guide material transparency across the building industry. Stepping into this co-chair role is a reflection of her expertise and the influence Habitable continues to bring to this work. Congratulations, Sarah, and thank you for representing Habitable at this table.

Terry Swack liked thisAlright, y'all - I'm SO EXCITED about this. Not in the generic Linkedin "Excited to share this professional update" kind of way - in the "𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘵 they liked my idea and they wanted 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 at the conference to take part in it and now I want to shout it from the rooftops" kind of way. 🗣️🗣️🗣️ I've been having FOMO over the Build Reuse conference for the past 5+ years and this year not only am I finally attending, I'm leading a really fun (if I do say so myself) solutions session with some incredible collaborators, Yarden Harari, AIA, NCARB, Marcus Hopper, and Andrew Ellsworth from the All For Reuse crew. There are 4 MORE DAYS to get the early bird conference registration rate (and TBH it is a very reasonable registration fee, as conferences go) - so go snag your tickets and book your flights to Phoenix so you can experience this imagination session and many other inspiring panels and workshops live!Terry Swack liked this📢 Speaker Announcement: 2026 Deconstruction & Reuse Conference We're excited to announce our speakers for November's conference, including Laurel Chądzyński, Founder of LOOM & LEVER, LLC, to help lead this year's Solutions Session called 2126: To The Future We're Building. What if the circular economy didn't remain an ambition but became the foundation of how we build, dismantle, and rebuild for the next 100 years? This 90-minute workshop invites participants to do something radical: stop solving today's problems and start imagining a world where we’ve succeeded. Guided by a diverse panel of practitioners, designers, and systems thinkers visiting from the future - including Yarden Harari, AIA, NCARB, Marcus Hopper, and Andrew Ellsworth - this session will invite participants into a structured visioning process: part speculative design, part collective storytelling, part professional north-star-setting. ♻️ Deconstruction + Reuse Conference 2026 📅 November 18-19, 2026 📍 On Jackson | Phoenix, Arizona, USA Learn more about this year's conference and register at the early bird rate by August 31: https://lnkd.in/gfnAc9G

I have been building a first-of-its-kind tool that surfaces all the material health data in of C2C Certified® into clear and actionable insights and it is one of the Innovation FINALISTS (!!!!!) in the 2026 Metropolis Magazine Planet Positive Award! Elwyn Grainger-Jones has been pushing us at the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute to explore how what it means to be a fully digital certification, and I'm loving finding ways to make healthy products fun, personal, and open to all types of designers. So stay tuned for more about FETCH by C2C Certified® - C2CPII is making it happen!!

Terry Swack reacted on thisEPDs can't truly be compared. That's the quiet problem with most product impact data today: even when brands follow the same PCR, different tools and different interpretations produce results that don't line up. The data is real, but it isn't comparable. This pilot took a run at fixing that. We turned the PCR into a prescriptive, software-ready set of modeling rules, so any team gets the same results from the same inputs regardless of which LCA tool they use. CarbonGraph modeled REI's rain jacket against those rules, and we mapped the full path from those modeled results to a third-party verified EPD or PCF with Embodied Carbon Solutions. product impact makes the results available in its database from any LCA tool or program operator. Every partner owned a separate step, and no one graded their own homework. Comparability and independence have to be built in from the first modeling decision. That's what this workflow does, and it's ready for the next product. Want to try it on one of your products? https://lnkd.in/enCDyiutTerry Swack reacted on thiswhat if product environmental impact data was based on the same rules, third-party verified, and digitally exchanged? we’re excited to share we've answered that question, thanks to our pilot with REI, CarbonGraph, Smart EPD, and Embodied Carbon Solutions: https://lnkd.in/gNSbFcsW together, we tested the full path from real product information for a rain jacket, to rules-driven, third-party verifiable, digitally structured and accessible results. 🧵 REI provided product, material, supplier, and manufacturing information for a rain jacket. 📊 CarbonGraph used that information to build a product category rules (PCR)-aligned template life cycle assessment model for rain jackets. ✅ Smart EPD and Embodied Carbon Solutions developed the path to third-party verification of both an environmental product declaration (EPD) and product carbon footprint (PCF), using CarbonGraph's modelled results. 🤝 product impact structured PCR, PCF, and EPD data using a common digital format, so the rules and published results can be more easily found, compared, exchanged, and used. the result is a proven path to product specific, verified environmental impact data, made usable for everyone! want to try it with one of your products? we’re looking for more partners across sectors and product categories to pilot the workflow we've now proven. product impact is made with ❤️ by ERG #productimpact #environmentalproductdeclaration #productcarbonfootprint #lca #sustainabilitydata
