Renewal — Our Vision for Sustainability
Sustaining is no longer enough. We need to renew our perspectives and relationships with our built environments. At Matter Surfaces, we look at the holistic picture — from the raw materials that go into the products we sell to the effects on indoor air quality our customers experience for years after installation. We’re committed to ensuring that our products do the least harm and the most good wherever possible.
