Cradle to Cradle Certification promotes product innovation for the circular economy by providing a framework for designing and manufacturing materials and products that are safe, circular and responsibly made.<\/strong><\/p>

It is considered preferential in public procurement programmes (USEPA, Netherlands Pianoo), awards points in the main green building certifications (LEED, BREEAM, DGNB), and is a preferential purchasing criterion for developers and builders in different countries (Google, Delta Development, Grupo Construc\u00eda).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To achieve certification of a product, companies must carry out a\u00a0exhaustive analysis of the formulation, sourcing and manufacturing processes of the product<\/strong>\u00a0through an accredited evaluation organisation.<\/p>

Work is done across the entire supply chain to understand the hidden chemistry in the product.<\/p>

All substances present up to a level of 100 ppm are identified. In some cases even beyond.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
