Origin PRICING Guidelines

The Origin Data Hub supports manufacturer sales processes while generating valuable industry analytics and trends. Optional subscriptions to premium features, analytics packages, enhanced data sharing are paid-for Origin products. Subscriptions are tailored for Manufacturers, Reporting Bodies and 3rd Party software applications.

To encourage maximum industry participation and help grow the visibility of and accessibility to materials and products with sustainability documentation, Origin is freely accessible to browse and view all published materials and certifications.

Publishing and viewing materials is free to remove bias and to encourage maximum industry participation.

• Manufacturers are not charged to add or connect material and certification data to the Origin Hub. 
• AEC users and project teams are not charged to search and view data on Origin.

We believe in protecting the quality and integrity of material and certification data on Origin. Manufacturers cannot pay to increase the search ranking of their materials. Origin's search algorithms prioritize information completeness - material visibility increases as disclosure does.

The Origin Data Hub provides free basic manufacturer accounts. Sign-up, here.

Enhanced Origin accounts provide manufacturers with greater account administration efficiencies, increased branding opportunities, additional material management tools, and more streamlined ways to engage with mindful MATERIALS.

See pricing details. Note that 2019 mindful MATERIALS sponsorship packages include a single Origin Enhanced Account license.

Data management services are available to assist companies to manage their company accounts, create and optimize materials, and create and connect certifications.

Aggregate usage statistics are collected, analyzed and packaged for purchase. Users can opt-in for a variety of industry trend analysis on material certification filtering or to learn how products are searched, viewed and compared.

Connected Data allows aggregate usage statistics to be tracked and shared with Manufacturers and Reporting Bodies to encourage their continued participation. Feedback loops help ensure that material information remains current and relevant.

• Manufacturers want to know the ROI of their transparency communication efforts. 
• Reporting Bodies want to know how their certifications rank within user statistics.  

To optimize feedback loops, Origin prioritizes access to Connected Data, which refers to on-demand, synchronous data exchange. Read more about Connected Data, here.
