Cradle to Cradle™
Cradle to Cradle™: The Ultimate Green Standard
Cradle to Cradle™ seeks to up-end our throw-away culture:
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
