What does C2C mean?
Cradle to Cradle® refers to products which, from conception, are optimised with their next usage phase in mind. Meaning that all materials can be either recycled, reused, composted or consumed. Cradle to Cradle Certified™ products are waste-free and can circulate in technical or biological cycles.
What does C2C stand for?
The Cradle to Cradle® Design Principle looks to nature as an example: The goal is to minimise negative impacts and leave behind a positive footprint. So products, processes, buildings and towns develop, which are safe for people, good for the environment and successful for business. The most frequently used materials can be reused like for like. Demolition creates practically no waste since much can be recycled and made use of in other ways.
What added value do Cradle to Cradle® inspired buildings offer?
Buildings that are optimised for time spent indoors improve the indoor climate and in doing so, can purify the air outside and produce renewable energy. Through the use of recyclable materials, they create positive benefits for the environment, people and real estate value through the circular economy and increase the lifespan of products or components through mechanical connections, for example.
What advantages does C2C offer for upgrading?
We spend over 90% of our lives inside buildings. Choosing materials in line with C2C goes above and beyond the legal standards and guidelines, guaranteeing an inspiring and productivity-boosting atmosphere. The high specification of fixtures and installation of materials brings with it the potential for third-party use. Recycling creates interesting opportunities for businesses.
