Cradle to Cradle pioneer

Your partner in the circular economy

EPEA is the partner for all those who not only call for a circular economy, but who want to implement it too. Whether that be with certified products, digital tools or expert advice on circular buildings and products. Our method: the Cradle to Cradle® design principle, which we co-developed.

We support companies in the development of healthy, circular products and buildings, including entire urban districts.

We are an accredited assessment body of the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute.

Urban Mining

Using strategic material flow management, we selectively return dismantled materials to the use cycle. This utilises existing resources to create new economic, ecological and sustainable potential for future-oriented and value-adding construction projects.
