McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC) Cradle to Cradle certification provides a company with a means to tangibly and credibly measure achievement in environmentally-intelligent design and helps customers purchase and specify products that are pursuing a broader definition of quality. This means using environmentally safe and healthy materials; design for material reutilization such as recycling or composting; the use of renewable energy and energy efficiency; efficient use of water, maximum water quality associated with production; and instituting strategies for social responsibility.
