Home / Ressources / Prodikt and BASTA collaborate: Build climate-smart, healthy buildings
23 June, 2021 [Press release]
Prodikt – a unique, open digital sustainability platform for building materials and furniture – and BASTA, a database for construction and civil engineering products, have entered into a partnership. Together, Prodikt and BASTA can actively help make future buildings more climate-smart, circular and healthy by promoting data-driven sustainability information and making safe, healthy material choices easier.
“Sustainable building must be both climate-smart and people-centred. To make things easier for the industry and raise the quality of sustainable construction, we see the collaboration between Prodikt and BASTA as a very progressive step forward. We are both open platforms and, together, we accelerate the journey towards a better built future,” says Rasmus Ekberg, one of the founders of Prodikt.
“The newly developed digital platform Prodikt – www.prodikt.com – makes it easy to find and compare different building products side by side, so that the customer can choose the most sustainable and technically suitable options. The information often already exists today, but is spread across different places and formats. We do not take a position or rank products; we simply show solutions from different suppliers with full transparency and openness. Then it is up to the architect, developer or purchaser to make their decisions and compile the choices for each project,” Rasmus Ekberg continues.
“BASTA – www.bastaonline.se – provides a database for construction and civil engineering products, with a focus on phasing out especially hazardous substances. The system is open to anyone who wants to make informed product choices. That is why it is natural that BASTA’s information is also available digitally in other open systems such as Prodikt, which creates added value for BASTA’s customers and for everyone who wants to make conscious product decisions,” says Sussi Wetterlin, CEO of BASTA online AB.
BASTA and Prodikt aim to make it easier for the market to drive the shift towards sustainable construction, and collaboration is the best way to achieve this. Information from BASTA is now connected to the Prodikt platform, so visitors can easily see which products meet BASTA’s criteria and choose materials that also comply with BASTA’s strict requirements for chemical content.
