How companies design and make products today has a direct impact on the world we will inhabit tomorrow.
Rooted in the Cradle to Cradle® design philosophy, Cradle to Cradle Certified® is the world’s most trusted and advanced science-based standard for designing and manufacturing materials and products that are made for tomorrow: safe, circular and responsibly made.
Cradle to Cradle Certified® materials and products maximize health and wellbeing for people and our planet, and are comprehensively assessed across five sustainability performance categories: Material Health, Product Circularity, Clean Air & Climate Protection, Water & Soil Stewardship, and Social Fairness.
For more than a decade, leading brands, designers, retailers and manufacturers across the value chain have relied on the Cradle to Cradle Certified® Product Standard to innovate and optimize materials, products and systems for immediate and long-term positive impacts.
Over 500 companies across five continents are currently participating in the Cradle to Cradle Certified Products Program. More than 35,000 certified products are presently covered by over 1000 certificates. Cradle to Cradle Certified® industry certificates vary from the built environment to household products, automotive, consumer electronics, textiles, apparel, cosmetics, personal care, cleaning products, paper and packaging to polymers.
The standard and related certification is run by the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute, an independent non-profit organization dedicated to powering the circular economy.
