Material
Transparency
Collaborative
We are a network of building industry
professionals dedicated to integrating
full disclosure of material content as
a performance benchmark in the way
products are developed, designed and
integrated into the built environment.
The goal of PMTC is to stimulate market
transformation and community engagement
with a unified regional voice for the
implementation of material transparency
into everyday practices.
IDC-Oregon
IDC-Oregon’s Mission: To establish
professional recognition for commercial interior
design professionals, whose work impacts the
health, safety, and welfare of the public in the
state of Oregon. Let’s “Raise the Bar” of Interior
Design in Oregon by supporting HB 2153.
Thanks!

Objectives
• Identify and discuss the current materials transparency certifying bodies and their differences including EPDs, HPDs, Declare, and C2C.
• Summarize Red List materials and compare the value of using alternative, Red List compounds in their place.
• Describe the primary categories which determine a product’s life cycle assessment including embodied energy and global warming potential. Understand the effects of each on human health.
• Develop strategies to specify products with greater product disclosure. Identify critical requirements to ensuring product transparency goals are met.

Only 10–20 chemicals would be required
to be reviewed per year by the TSCA 2016 update
