Natural Materials body


A UK body representing the breadth of natural materials has been launched by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3).
 
The Natural Materials Association (NMA) will provide a much needed focus for a diverse range of natural materials, including wood, stone, natural rubber, wool, leather, hemp, etc, as well as enabling an improved understanding of biomimicry (learning from nature).
 
The NMA will form an important bridge to the product design community as well as outreach to schools and higher education. It will also enable greater interaction and networking between individual natural materials communities, and will support the growth of these links across the global membership of IOM3.
