Materials Connexion, McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry, LLC (MBDC) and the environmental Protection encouragement Agency (ePeA) have announced a joining of forces (pdf) "to create a global platform for developing innovative sustainable materials and products." The main goal is to guide companies that wish to develop innovative, yet sustainable and responsible solutions while also boosting bottom lines. Within this program, workshops will be offered, materials assessments and process evaluations will be performed, and materials certifications will be issued.
The relationship will help to promote and disseminate Cradle to Cradle design principles by providing greater global access to Cradle to Cradle material information, certification and product development. As of January 2008, Material ConneXion's libraries in New York, Milan, Cologne and Bangkok will feature Cradle to Cradle Assessed and Certified materials, and, in collaboration with MBDC and EPEA, Material ConneXion will offer Cradle to Cradle Certification, and Cradle to Cradle product development.
