The Cradle to Cradle Design Framework for Interior Designers

Learn about the Cradle to Cradle® Design Framework and how implementing its principles will take your practice beyond sustainable interior design.

Cradle to Cradle® is the product design concept that takes into consideration 5 specific criteria for effective ecological, economic and equitable impacts in manufacture, use and post-use behaviours. Products are created through intelligent, responsible production methodology, operations are optimized for value retention and the concept of waste is all but eliminated.  

Join Cradle to Cradle® advocate Brendon Rowen as he discusses how he supports companies in the production and use of high quality, fully assessed, intelligently designed products, using the Cradle to Cradle® design framework.
