This section is a reference of the materials and processes that exist as active items in Målbar LCA. The purpose is to make it quick to look up which material or process you should choose - without having to ask a colleague every time.
The content here is a snapshot of the active items in the system (355 materials and processes, split between Material and Packaging). If you create new items or change categories in Målbar LCA, remember to update this section so it stays reliable.

How to use the material bank

Materials

All items of type Material - metal, wood, textile, plastic, electronics, surface treatment, glue, glass, ceramics and more - organized by category.

Packaging

All items of type Packaging - cardboard, paper, plastic film, wood-based boards, glass packaging and more.
Each table shows: Items are grouped under the category they actually have in Målbar LCA - so if you know the category (e.g. “Stainless steel” or “Sheet surface treatments”), you can search for it directly.

​
Photos

You have a large folder of your own material photos in Dropbox: Stock photos by Målbar / Materials. Many of the files are named after the pattern Category - Subcategory - Display name.jpg, so where possible the tables reference the exact file name in a Photo column - search (Ctrl/Cmd+F) for the file name inside the Dropbox folder to find and open the photo.
The photos are not (yet) embedded directly on these pages - only referenced by file name. This is partly because Mintlify cannot run custom scripts/uploads through this admin access, and partly because we have deliberately avoided generating hundreds of individual shared Dropbox links to keep the workload down. The Photo column is so far only filled in for the wood board categories as a pilot - the remaining categories are still missing.

​
The visual search tool

There is also an interactive, searchable HTML overview of the same data (with filtering by type and free-text search), built for quick visual browsing. That tool cannot run directly inside Målbar Academy (Mintlify does not allow standalone JavaScript on individual pages), so it works best as a local file you open in your browser, or placed somewhere you share files (e.g. SharePoint/Teams). Contact Allan if you need the file.

Decision rules are not included yet

Important: this material bank tells you the correct name and category for a material - it does not (yet) tell you why you should choose one over another when several look similar (e.g. which surface treatment is most accurate for a given product). We will build in those rules of thumb over time as questions come up. If you are facing a choice that is hard to settle from the tables alone, still ask Leonor, Pablo, Morten or Anders - and please let Allan know, so the answer can be included here next time.
