One of the greatest challenges of the 21st Century is climate change. Sustainability Tools in Cultural Heritage (STiCH) is a life cycle assessment (LCA) Carbon Calculator and Library of Case Studies and Information Sheets developed to help cultural heritage professionals make educated, sustainable choices to lower the environmental impact of their work.
Additional products continue to be added to the carbon calculator tool, and the STiCH team recently released a new study: Gloves: Nitrile, Latex, & Cotton. The next time you are choosing supplies and materials for collections care, visit https://stich.culturalheritage.org to explore opportunities to make a more sustainable choice.
