MBDC (McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry, LLC) a global consultancy helping
clients create a positive footprint on the planet by implementing the Cradle to
Cradle® framework, has certified more than 300 products since the program
launched in late 2005. The framework is based on the book by internationally
recognized architect/designer William McDonough and chemist Dr. Michael
Braungart Cradle to Cradle – Remaking the Way We Make Things, published in 2002
by NorthPoint Press.
Cradle to Cradle Certification by MBDC gives global manufacturers across
industries a way to verify and market their products’ sustainability attributes
and demonstrate environmental leadership. The certification process takes into
account five criteria: material health, material reutilization, renewable energy
use, water stewardship and social responsibility. Companies incorporate these
criteria into future product development to create a continuous improvement and
learning cycle. The program has four achievement levels: Basic, Silver, Gold and
Platinum. Cradle to Cradle Certification can be applied across industries, from
building materials to consumer products.
