“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 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.
