We are the creators of the Cradle to Cradle® Design Framework and the world's leading consulting institute for C2C Certified®.
Our mission is to help manufacturers of industrial products become pioneers of a true circular economy. Discover with us how you can use Cradle to Cradle® to make your products not only environmentally friendly but also economically successful.
Our scientists work closely with industry and offer scientifically based answers that can be used today and will also work in the world of tomorrow. In a circular economy, molecules end up circulating. Thanks to our deep integration in the supply chain, we know which molecules these are.
Cradle to Cradle Certified® serves as proof of the particular environmental quality of products. More than 30,000 products are already Cradle to Cradle® certified. The certification is based on a comprehensive, globally valid and cross-industry standard that designs and awards products that enable a healthy, equitable and sustainable future. The standard assesses products in six categories: Material Health, Circularity, Clean Air & Climate Protection, Water & Soil Protection, Social Fairness and General Requirements. Depending on its performance, a product receives the bronze, silver, gold or platinum level certificate. After evaluation and optimization with EPEA, an audit is carried out and finally the certificate is issued by the independent C2CPII Certification Institute.
Hundreds of customers have been working with us in a spirit of trust for years. We would be happy to advise you on the next steps towards successful certification.
Material health and recyclability, the core messages of Cradle to Cradle are clearly summarized in Circularity Passport® - Products. Every optimization that we make to the product together with our customers leads directly to improved indicators. In this way, progress can be communicated, both internally and externally. From Circularity Passport Product to C2C Certified®, thanks to the modular structure of our services, this step is possible at any time.
This transparency tool provides an overview of the material health of your product. Clearly rated and commented on for your target group, the Material Health Statement allows you to stand out from the products of your competitors. Your product is more than the sum of its molecules, so combine the Material Health Statement seamlessly with the Circularity Passport® or C2C Certified®.Material Health Statement von den Produkten Ihrer Mitbewerber abheben. Ihr Produkt ist mehr als die Summe seiner Moleküle, kombinieren Sie daher das Material Health Statement nahtlos mit dem Circularity Passport® oder C2C Certified®.
As knowledge trustees, we work with you and your supply chain to optimize your products for a true circular economy. In the form of a molecular digital twin, your product is presented in the secure Trustee Materials Toolbox. The dashboard gives you an up-to-date view of the C2C performance of your product, meaning you can see the material health and recyclability of your product at a glance.
