Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things

Challenging the conventional approach to manufacturing, this book proposes a new model for creating products that are designed to be recycled and reused, rather than discarded. By taking inspiration from nature, McDonough and Braungart argue that waste can be seen as a valuable resource, rather than a problem to be solved.

Through their experience in redesigning products and systems, the authors demonstrate how a 'cradle to cradle' approach can be applied to a wide range of industries, from carpeting to corporate campuses. They make a compelling case for putting eco-effectiveness into practice, and show how anyone involved in making things can begin to do so.
