Cradle to Cradle

C2C is …

... a practice

… a design philosophy

… a quality standard

Page 5: Cradle to Cradle Certified - Green Chemistry€¦ · Cradle to Cradle Design 2002 Published Cradle to Cradle Remaking the Way We Make Things 2010 Institute founded • Fundraising

Imagine a World …

Where the concept of waste does not

exist

Where all materials

are healthy

and safe

That is 100%

cleanly, renewably powered

… Where consumption is a good thing

Why companies certify •  Integration eco-effective vision as a differentiator and brand

enhancement •  External verification of a product’s design for future use cycles,

safety to human and environmental health, and sustainable manufacturing processes

•  Expert evaluations of product ingredients throughout the supply chain for toxicity hazards and risks in context of use

•  Defined trajectory for optimizing product design and manufacturing processes

•  Characterization and mitigation of potential environmental issues & risks

•  Verified data and claims through third-party assessments to meet regulations or contribute to other certifications

Example  Material  Assessment  NYLON 6 Final

Material Assessment

The potential routes of exposure of carbon black as it exists in a polymeric material do not pose a risk to the user or recycler of the material. Therefore the red flag for this ingredient is changed to a yellow risk assessment as used in this material. While there is very little recycled content in this material, glass filled nylon 6 can be mechanically, or chemically recycled and therefore is positioned to be a true technical nutrient.
