MBDC, a consultancy focused on helping clients implement the Cradle to Cradle design framework, today announced the addition of a Cradle to Cradle Approved Ingredient certification, which assesses the sustainability of product ingredients for human and environmental health, as well as their recyclability or compostability.
The ingredient certification allows suppliers to position themselves as ready to meet the increasing Cradle to Cradle demands of designers, developers and companies seeking product and material choices that serve to eliminate the concept of waste.
"The Cradle to Cradle Approved Ingredient certification makes it easier at the design stage to create ecologically intelligent products by choosing materials that meet key sustainability criteria for material health and material reutilization" said Jay Bolus, Vice President of Technical Operations for MBDC.
"We invite material manufacturers to gain this designation and let their customers know about this as they qualify."
