Cradle to Cradle (design framework)

Cradle to Cradle is a sustainable design approach that creates products and systems aimed at eliminating waste by ensuring materials can be reused or repurposed continuously. Instead of a linear process—make, use, dispose—it promotes designing for a circular life cycle where materials remain within safe, healthy environments. This approach encourages using eco-friendly, renewable resources, and designing products that can be disassembled and regenerated, ultimately reducing environmental impact and conserving resources for future generations. It’s a way of thinking that aims for continuous ecological and human health benefits through innovative, responsible design.
