"We do not want sustainability, because that is not enough. We want real quality.“
(Braungart)
“A delightfully diverse, safe, healthy and just world - with clean air, soil, water and power -
economically, equitably, ecologically, and elegantly enjoyed.”

“The circular economy requires careful
management of material flows, which
are of two types. These are
characterised by McDonough and
Braungart in Cradle to Cradle:
Remaking the Way We Make Things as
biological nutrients—materials designed
to re-enter the biosphere safely and
rebuild natural capital, and technical
nutrients, designed to circulate at high
quality without entering the biosphere.”

DEFINITION OF A CRADLE TO CRADLE® BUILDING
“Cradle to Cradle building contains defined elements that
add value and celebrate innovation and enjoyment by
measurably enhancing the quality of
- materials,
- biodiversity,
- air,
- and water,
- using current solar income,
- being deconstructable
- and recyclable,
- and performing diverse practical and life-enhancing
functions for its stakeholders to holistically improve the
economy, ecology and social equity.”

Definition Materials Passport:
Set of data describing defined characteristics of materials in
products that give them value for recovery and reuse.
Passports are a marketplace mechanism to encourage product
designs, material recovery systems, and chain of possession
partnerships that improve the quality, value, and security of
supply for materials so they can be reused in continuous
loops or closed loops or beneficially returned to biological
systems.
For other definitions please refer to Resource Repletion, Role of Buildings, Katja
Hansen, Michael Braungart, Douglas Mulhall, The Springer Encyclopaedia of
Sustainability Science and Technology, 2012, pp. 9096-9117 ISBN 978-0-387-
