THROUGH ITS LIBRARIES AND CONSULTING
SERVICES, Material ConneXion (MCX) not only
delivers the latest in innovative, advanced, and
sustainable materials to its clients and members,
but provides transparency about the chemistry behind
the materials as well, allowing designers to specify
materials with full knowledge of their short- and
long-term effects.
At press time, more than 15 full-service, satellite, and
educational MCX libraries were in operation around
the globe, including outposts at the Fashion Institute
of Design & Merchandising, in Los Angeles; Sheridan
College, in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada; and
Universidad de Monterrey, in Monterrey, Mexico. That's
in addition to the thousands of materials catalogued in
the MCX online database. Corporations and academic
institutions can subscribe to a variety of access plans to
suit their ongoing needs, and opportunities exist
to license, lease, or own a Material ConneXion library.
Supported by founding sponsor American Chemistry
Council, the ASID satellite MCX library, located
at the ASID HQ office in Washington, D.C., includes
a collection of materials that have met the rigorous
standards set by BIFMA, Cradle to Cradle, Recycled
Content, LEED, and others. The design community
is welcome to explore the ASID library. Plan your
