Cradle to cradle design is about creating continuous cycles of both biological and technical ‘nutrients’. This means that products are made from pure components that are easy to disassemble, in order to create new products (= up cycling) in both the biological and technical cycles – they will have been produced using manufacturing processes which rely on renewable energy, and which seek to conserve water, and to embrace social responsibility.
Customers can be sure that these products are made from environmentally friendly pure materials that are good for human health and are designed so that at the end of their useful lives, they can be biologically or technically recycled.
Today 75% of Desso qualities are certified as cradle to cradle – Desso will be 100% cradle to cradle by 2020.
