_Cradle to Cradle® industrial products
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.
_EPEA as a strong consulting partner
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.
“C2C Certified is the standard
for the circular economy.”
_C2C Certified ®
Cradle to Cradle Certified® serves as proof of the particular environmental quality of products. More than 70,000 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
_Circularity Passport® - Products
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.
_Material Health Statement®
This transparency tool provides an overview of the material health of your product. You can clearly rate and comment on for your target group with the Material Health Statement stand out from your competitors' products. Your product is more than the sum of its molecules, so combine the Material Health Statement seamlessly with the Circularity Passport® or C2C Certified®.
"Sustainable products with
EPEA as an innovation partner."
_Trustee Material Toolbox
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.
_EPEA as an innovation partner and pioneer in the construction sector
The global linear economy is destroying our livelihoods. To keep the world worth living in, we need an intelligent circular economy, consisting of good materials and meaningful cycles. The EU has set a clear goal for this: The economy should be climate-neutral and recyclable by 2050. This goal is accompanied by regulations that are already in force today (for example Green Claims Directive, CSRD, ESPR, Supply Chain Directive, etc.).
The challenge: Against this background, compliance is inevitable but time-consuming and ties up resources that are therefore no longer available for innovation. With Cradle to Cradle, you can achieve both innovation and compliance, because Cradle to Cradle is the strategic framework for developing innovative industrial products that simultaneously comply with regulatory requirements.
