Cradle to Cradle
Cradle to Cradle® is a design paradigm that empowers society to model its production processes on the principles of Nature, where quality and effectiveness of material and energy flows are central features. Examples include development of human friendly buildings that produce energy and clean air, or agricultural and other activities that help to restore topsoil as one of our most valuable resources. In the implementation of Cradle to Cradle® principles, material flow partnerships play a key role.
Since the introduction of the Cradle to Cradle® concept in the Netherlands in 2006 there have been many public and business initiatives to develop the concept in practice and to anchor it in the Dutch society.
