As Official Partner, Material Matters is collaborating with Green Design Show to strengthen connections between the UK, Europe and Australia, bringing together designers, architects, manufacturers and material innovators who are driving the transition towards a more circular built environment.

The Material Matters Trail brings together innovations ranging from mycelium composites and agricultural waste materials to recycled textiles, low-carbon surfaces and plant-based alternatives to leather. Featured exhibitors include Smile Materials, Pit-to-Table, BIRDMIND, Low Carbon Industrial, EcoLattice and Crafting Plastics! Studio, alongside Australian innovators including Fungi Solutions, Durra Panel, Hydrowood and Future Materials.

The partnership reflects Material Matters' ambition to build an international platform for material innovation, creating opportunities for knowledge sharing and collaboration across continents. By bringing past exhibitors to new audiences in Australia, the initiative helps extend the conversations around circularity, responsible manufacturing and regenerative design beyond our own fairs in London and Copenhagen.
