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 [...]
