Theoretical Framework for the C2C NetworkNadine Ghanem - Dirk Le Roy (Sustenuto)

Peter Stouthuysen – Karl Vrancken (VITO)

2© 2010, Sustenuto / VITO NV

Objective of the Cradle to Cradle framework

» To explain the common vision that governs the network and that will be expressed in the action plans

» Provide common introductory chapter for each of the perspective studies - guidance on “What could be the role of Cradle to Cradle in relation to:

» Building» Spatial development» Industry» Governance


Team

» Core team:» VITO: sustainable materials management and C2C

experts» Sustenuto: C2C consultant and strategic C2C partner

» Sounding board» Karel Van Acker, KULeuven, Materials Research

Centre» Douglas Mulhall, C2C Academic Chair at DRIFT,

Erasmus University Rotterdam


Approach

» Description of C2C concept, principles, applications and terminology

» Discuss at Target Area Workshops» Outcome is a general introduction to C2C» Resume of C2C theoretical framework is used in each of

the four perspective studies (Chapter 1 of the perspective study)

General theoretical framework:Introduction to Cradle to Cradle

» Background

» The Cradle to Cradle concept

» The Cradle to Cradle principles

» Cradle to Cradle applications


General framework - Background

Source: Sustenuto, KUL, Wuppertal Institut (2010). Sustainable Materials Management for Europe. From efficiency to effectiveness.


General framework - Background

» Growing awareness something has to change:» Last decades growing welfare but well-being?» What about next decades?

» Action is needed and is also taken:

» initally defensive (cost reduction waste, compliance with law)

» collaborative (preventive approach)» active approach (product responsibility, life cycle

analysis, eco- efficiency)

Will this be enough?Will this be enough?


General framework – Cradle to Cradle concept

» Need for a goal – where do we want to go to and how we can achieve this?

» Braungart and McDonough introduce the Cradle to Cradle concept» Broader framework: eco-effectiveness

Eco-effectiveness Eco-efficiency “Doing the right things” “Doing the things right”

“maximise positive “minimise negative effects”

effects”


From Efficiency to Effectiveness

Source: “Sustainable Materials Management for Europe, from Efficiency to Effectiveness”, Sustenuto, KU Leuven, Wuppertal Institute, March 2010


General framework - Principles

Act as nature» Waste equals food» Use current solar income» Celebrate diversity


C2C Network – Limburg principles

» Limburg principles are a regional interpretation of C2C

» C2C Network is inspired by ‘Limburg Principles’» We are native to our place » Our waste is our food » The sun is our income » Our air, soil and water are healthy » We design enjoyment for all generations » We provide enjoyable mobility for all


General framework - Applications

» Products, processes, buildings, business models, spatial areas,… are inspired by the Cradle to Cradle concept and its principles

» Only for products is there currently a validation tool:» C2C™-certificate – safe, healthy and reusable materials

» The C2C Network project ambition is to understand the potential role of Cradle to Cradle for applications in:

» Industry» Buildings» Spatial area» And role of governance


Cradle to Cradle and Industry

» 3 levels of applying Cradle to Cradle to industry

» Product – 3 C2C principles, human and environmental health criteria

» Supply Chain – knowledge of materials, reverse logistics

» Business Processes – innovative, sales to lease
