Cradle to Cradle (theory)

Cradle to Cradle is a design philosophy focused on creating products and systems that are environmentally sustainable. Instead of the traditional "take-make-waste" approach, it encourages designing goods in a way that their materials can be safely reused or composted at the end of their life, mimicking natural cycles. This promotes resource efficiency, reduces waste, and supports ecological health. The goal is to create a closed-loop system where materials continually flow through positive reuse, fostering sustainability and innovation in product design.
