Cradle to Cradle
Certificate Description
Cradle to Cradle Certified is an international certification that recognizes product designers, manufacturers and brands around the world with a positive impact on people and the planet to promote a circular economy.
Cradle to Cradle Certification encompasses a wide range of products, from fragrances to flooring, T-shirts and jeans to water bottles and window treatments. To receive the certification, products are assessed for environmental and social performance across five critical sustainability categories: material health, material reuse, renewable energy and carbon management, water stewardship, and social fairness. A product is assigned an achievement level (Basic, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) for each category.
The certification is developed by the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute, which is dedicated to powering innovation for the circular economy through products that have a positive social and environmental impact.
