C2C Certified^® products

Products that use materials that among other things are environmentally safe, healthy and recyclable are awarded various levels of the Cradle to Cradle^®-certificate. Additionally, the use of renewable energy, a responsible attitude towards water usage as well as social aspects are considered. The certificate is valid for one year. Recertification entails the product criteria being re-confirmed and indeed there is also the possibility that if progress is made, a higher grade of certification can be achieved. The Cradle to Cradle^®-certification provides companies with the opportunity of illustrating the successes and progress their products have achieved. From a customer perspective, products can be sought out on the basis of having satisfied this further demand relating to quality.

The certification portrays to what extent a product satisfies limited requirements of Cradle to Cradle^®. It does not include aspects such as actively beneficial features e.g. substances that clean the air, or continuous roadmaps to improvement, which instead are developed under the C2C optimization process. Certification is limited to a snapshot in time showing the status of a product. There are four different grades of certification. They are Basic, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
