Cradle to Cradle products need to meet three requirements:
1. The materials need to be absolutely safe for people, plants and animals;
2. Materials need to be reusable as a biological nutrient or technical nutrient, without loss of quality;
3. Products need to be designed in such a way that they can be easily disassembled for quick recovery and reuse of components and materials.
Several multinationals around the world have started working with the Cradle to Cradle concept and have drawn surprising conclusions. From their experience it is apparent that products that are disassembled easily, are assembled even faster.
As a result production processes become simpler and cost less energy and are less costly in a whole.
Raw materials are becoming scarse and therefore more costly. Raw materials that return to the production cycle are therefore also attractive from a business point of view.
