Aggregating samples
is ultra-sustainable.
The Material Bank community has eliminated over 1,700,000 million packages by aggregating sample orders from over 450 brands. Material Bank members and brands continue to save needless packages from being shipped, eliminating waste and shipping emissions.
Sample reuse makes
zero landfill achievable.
Material Bank trays are reusable and returnable. Our free sample return program places over 50% of returned samples back into sample recirculation. The balance of lightly used samples are donated to local organizations and used for our University Program. The goal of our re-use program is to keep sample materials out of landfills and minimize down-cycling.
Collaboration powers
sustainable practices.
Material Bank helps members make sustainability focused sample selections by collaborating with mindful MATERIALS. As an extension to our comprehensive environmental & health certification product search filters, members can also search for brands found on mindful MATERIALS. » Learn More
