Editor's Notes
- What is C2C?Let’s look at some problems and see how C2C addresses them
- By emulating natural cycles, designers can eliminate the concept of waste.Everything becomes a resource for something else.
- When we reduce and eliminate, we are moving toward zeroZero voc’s, net zero, zero waste. Co-founder Dr. Michael Braungart makes the points that mankind strives to make a positive impact both economically and socially, but when it comes to the environment, we strive for “zero.” Zero is not a terribly inspiring goalCradle to Cradle® proposes that mankind can have a positive, restorative, beneficial impact on the environment – A CELEBRATION OF ABUNDANCE.A tree, for example, is not “zero-emitting.” It emits oxygen and nutrients for soil, while purifying water and providing habitat for multiple species.Nature focuses primarily on effectiveness (pursuing the most valuable end)Eco-effectiveness embraces nature’s design principlesIf we follow nature’s example, we strive for more and betterRather than focusing on how our stuff can incrementally become “less bad,” Cradle to Cradle Certified Products Program represents a model for doing “more good.” Using a set of design principles based on the C2C philosophy, we redefine the solution. This rethinking of how we design, manufacture, use, and reuse materials will spur a new era of innovation and raise the standard for materials and their selection
- What is C2C?
- Reason it’s a new era Recognized that the Institute was founded to be sure program was independent and transparent regarding administration of the program and the standard.In order to grow and gain acceptance in the market, std needed to be governed and developed, made transparent to the public.As a way to grow the program to get more products certified, will train assessors and educate general public, manufactureres of the value of certification, and establishing a platform for innovation
- CHANGE bullet number 2 - BL
- Change add law firm to MG - BL
- We value your experienceMaintain quality and grow to get more products certified and build a preference for C2C products
- Starts with a product Bill of Materials and results in a supply chain chemical/material inventoryInvolve supply chianContact suppliers to define formulationsDeep dive into material health of the productUse formulations to perform toxicological hazard assessmentsIn context assessment Chemicals aren’t good or badPrescriptive for product or processFlexible depending on use phaseEnds with an optimization plan for improvement
- V3 is new, things have changed, generally idea was to establish a more coherent path in all categories and levels (examples, somewhat lowering bar in MH basic but increasing requirements for other categories at Basic ; also sequentially increasing rigor of requirements in all categories as increase level
- BL expanded Includes PBT chemicals, these commonly found on other banned lists or lists of COCs2 lists, certain chems appropriate for TN and BN cycles and lists reflects thatGenerally applies to intentional inputs >1000ppm, with following exceptionsIntent: Lead, PTFE, PAHs allowed in TNs where no exposure occurs; banned where exposure expected to occur (paints, coatings, finishes, children’s toys, jewelry)
- Once the inventory list is complete, the assessor scans for Banned Material. Chemicals that bio accumulate, are persistent and that have irreversible health impacts are not allowed in C2C productsWe are hearing more and more about chemicals of concern throughout the industry and now even in LEED. This can be confusing but there really is more overlap than difference.

- Encourage manufacturers to make as much information available as possible
- This is a task for the experts C2C assessors must have chemists on their team and to use certified labs for the analysis.One more material assessor will be added, these are highly qualified chemists and toxicologistsSeveral more accredited bodies will be added to provide services for process evaluation (the other four categories)
- Certification is a continuous improvement process that begins with a basic inventory and requires progress on assessment and then optimization.Assessment provides an in depth study look at a product, judging each chemical for its application and use, this information helps a manufacturer to make design decisions about a product.As the product is optimized, it reaches increasing levels of qualityProgress requires optimization in all categories, so a product is set apart from single attribute, or single issue certificationsMost importantly, certification demonstrates a commitment to the cradle to cradle vision, which can be understood by anyone, and which makes sense across industries and around the world. Certification provides a roadmap, benchmark your progress, and communicate your efforts to your customers with a cohesive positive impact agenda
- We are working together to build the cradle to cradle certified brand, we want consumers to know what it means to be certified, and to prefer certified products, we also want governments, businesses, hospitals, businesses and organizations to prefer cradle to cradle products.In November the Institute held a booth at the Greenbuild conference in San Francisco, with 30,000 attending. We supported 25 companies with cradle to cradle products in developing awareness around their certified products, and provided increased visibility for the certification program among architects, designers, and other members of the building communityWe took photos of those who came by our booth with our iprefer signs, which were displayed live at the event and on our website.We also launched the product innovation prize
- Partnership with Habitat for Humanity & Make It RightCall for InnovationHealthy, Safe Materials for Affordable Homes20 Finalists3 Winners,$250,000 Prize I am curious, what types of products would you like to see certified?
- The materials wish list is just a part of an effort to identify the most problematic
- Early February for Webinars, later for workshops
