Cradle to Cradle Certified™ Products
This is a globally recognised measure for safer, more sustainable products made for the circular economy. These products are great because of their unique healthy ingredients benefits at a microbiological level, making these products healthy for humans and planet.
Additionally, its holistic accreditation framework ensures that the products I recommend are authentically sustainable and have no slavery in the system — today 75 per cent of all products have slavery in the system. These certified products also have water/soil/energy optimization, in particular, Accoya® timber which singlehandedly means we do not need to cut down slow-growing hardwoods like oak and for many other reasons, not least of all its durability and ability to be in water, in bathrooms, interiors and exteriors and deliver charred coatings and take any other timber coating or finish, all while not off-gassing or harming anything — good enough for bee hives says it all!
