Cradle to Cradle® Certification is a multiattribute eco-label that assesses a product’s safety to humans and the environment and design for future life cycles. The program provides guidelines to help businesses implement the Cradle to Cradle® framework, which focuses on using safe materials that can be disassembled and recycled as technical nutrients or composted as biological nutrients. MBDC’s certification program takes a comprehensive approach to evaluating the sustainability of a product and the practices employed in manufacturing the product. The materials and manufacturing practices of each product are assessed in five categories:
- Material Health
- Material Reutilization
- Renewable Energy Use
- Water Stewardship
- Social Responsibility
