2050 Materials × natureplus: Revolutionising Data
We are thrilled to announce our strategic partnership with natureplus, the most holistic European Type 1 Ecolabel, grounded in ISO 14024 standards for sustainable building products. natureplus maintains a rich product database—complete with technical specs, environmental, health and performance data—available via their API https://www.baubook.at/natureplus/.
At 2050 Materials, we now automatically and continuously ingest data from the natureplus API. This real‑time integration means:
-
✅ Verified ecolabel status, material composition, test results, and eco‑performance metrics flow directly into our platform.
-
🚀 A leap forward in digitisation of sustainability data—eliminating manual updates, reducing errors, and accelerating decision‑making for designers and engineers.
-
🔍 Full transparency and traceability: if a product is natureplus‑certified, our dataset reflects that instantly, making sustainable specification simpler and more credible.
-
🧮 natureplus simplifies planning for architectsin accordance with BREEAM, LEED, DGNB, Passivhouse Standard and co since it is recognised by national and international programmes and building certification schemes.
Why this matters
- Data integrity: with ongoing API syncs, data remains current and accurate.
-
Searchable ecolabels: our users can filter by natureplus certification in seconds.
-
Scalable impact: aligning digital tools with trusted ecolabels empowers architects, builders and specifiers to drive real-world sustainability at scale.
Together, we’re pushing boundaries—transforming sustainability data from static PDFs into a living, actionable dataset embedded in design workflows.
Curious to see how natureplus‑certified products appear in our platform? Let us know—we’ll be happy to demo our API‑powered search and retrieval.
