Cradle to cradle certification

This is an approach to product and system design that encourages industry to protect and enrich ecosystems, while maintaining a safe and productive system for the continued circulation and use of technical nutrients such as metals. Certification acts as an incentive, encouraging organisations to commit to circularity principles and going some way to educating consumers as well.
