 What is Cradle to Cradle?

“a holistic, economic, industrial and social framework that seeks to create systems that are not only efficient but also essentially waste free”.

All buildings have plans explaining how they should be constructed, how many have plans on how to take them apart and recycle every component at the end of their functional life?

How many of us would like to saddle future generations with toxic buildings which can neither be safely disposed of nor re-used? Anyone who has worked in lead, asbestos, or mould abatement will help you answer.

tl;dr: Cradle to Cradle is a promise.

Challenge: discipline, details, data
