Cradle to Cradle Design- Green Living Tip Brought to you by Ideal Bite
Wanna do a 180 on waste?
The Bite
Try looking at things from a Cradle-to-Cradle angle. Cradle to Cradle is a way of designing products so they're as efficient as possible - incorporating previously used and recycled materials - and waste-free. Opt for these types of products before our resources are totally gone.
The Benefits
• Being diametrically opposed to inefficiency. True Cradle-to-Cradle products undergo lifecycle assessments, so every aspect of the product's existence is taken into eco-account, from its creation to the end of its use.
• High degrees of preused materials. Many Cradle-to-Cradle products use recycled and repurposed materials.
• Getting a-round big landfills. Cradle-to-Cradle companies often offer their own recycling programs - some will take back and reuse parts and materials.
