Cradle to Cradle™

Cradle to Cradle™:  The Ultimate Green Standard

Cradle to Cradle™ seeks to up-end our throw-away culture:Hycrete is Cradle to Cradle certified

A concept originated by the visionary architect Bill McDonough, Cradle to Cradle™ is a concept designed to revolutionize the traditional approach to material in our society.  The guiding principle is to upend “cradle to grave” practices and institute a philosophy of total material re-use.  The core tenets of Cradle to Cradle™ include:

  • Environmentally safe and healthy materials
  • Designed for material reutilization
  • Maximum use of renewable energy / energy efficiency
  • Maximum efficiency in use of water; protection of water quality
  • Socially responsible strategies instituted


Hycrete: the First Cradle to Cradle™ Certified Building Material

  • Low-impact, green materials
  • Manufactured responsibly
  • Energy conserved in manufacture – and installation
  • Recycled water used in process and solution
  • Socially responsible corporate practices
