cradle to cradlegeneralKnowledge base
Since 2010, we have been involved in several projects inspired by the principles of Cradle to Cradle, the circular economy and/or the importance of health in buildings.
Together with many (international) partners, we have collaborated in research and projects in the built environment. Many interesting sources have been developed during these projects both by collaborating partners and ourselves. In addition, there are also several interesting sources from external parties that we have used as a foundation to enrich our knowledge, all of which we are happy to share with everyone via this page.
Below you will find all the knowledge available in English, via the flags at the top right you can navigate to the Dutch and German knowledge.
When multiple languages are available, it is possible to go to the appropriate language of this article via the flags (top right).
This knowledge base has its origins in the C2C Center.
