The Cradle-to-Cradle principle (C2C) is a sustainable concept in which products are considered as nutrients for the environment from the beginning of their production to the end of their life cycle. Unlike the traditional cradle-to-grave model, where products end after use, products in the C2C model should be able to be recycled or biodegraded at the end of their life cycle without leaving harmful residues. The aim is to create a closed cycle of materials and resources and minimize environmental impacts.
