- Steel already one of the

friendliest types of material

that a crafter can utilise, the

continued shift to electric

ark furnaces (EAF) will

reduce emission levels by up

to a further 60% on traditional

blast furnaces.

- Rubber a popular material in a

crafter or artisans’

work. Traditional rubber is

harvested in areas like

Southeast Asia and Brazil and

forests are being lost at an

alarming rate so that rubber can be

harvested. A switch to a more

sustainable type of rubber protects

against deforestation and helps to

reduce human rights’ violations.
