The book introduces "Cradle to Cradle^®-Design" to the public. 

The English version itself is an example of a Cradle to Cradle^®-product.  Developed by innovative book packager Charles Melcher of Melcher Media, the book is a prototype of a "technical nutrient". It is printed and bound on "synthetic" paper made of plastic resins and inorganic fillers designed to be broken down and circulated infinitely in "technical cycles" - re-made into "paper" or other products.

The latest publication of Michael Braungart and Douglas Mulhall addresses planners and architects.
Many of them are not yet familiar with how to integrate C2C^® features, such as beneficial materials, into the built environment. A rapid acceleration occurred from 2008 to 2010 in the numbers of planners, architects and engineers introducing C2C^® concepts into planning and construction. A priority expressed by government agencies is to translate C2C^® into renovation and new construction of buildings. Those requests resulted in these Cradle to Cradle^® Criteria for the built environment.

Cradle to Cradle verovert de wereld, maar vooral Nederland. Het inspirerende verhaal van de bedenkers, Michael Braungart en William McDonough, vormt daarbij een belangrijke motor. Op tal van plaatsen en in diverse bedrijven gaat men enthousiast met het concept aan de slag. C2C maakt creativiteit los en leidt tot innovaties. Het leidt echter ook tot nieuwe vragen. Waar begin ik? Hoe krijg ik anderen enthousiast? Hoe realiseer ik C2C binnen een traditionele infrastructuur? Waar vind ik partners? Hoe kom ik aan de juiste kennis en materialen?

Bij de mensen die iets willen met het concept bestaat vooral behoefte aan praktische informatie. Maar het C2C-concept laat zich niet vangen in regels of stappen. Elke specifieke situatie vraagt om een eigen aanpak. Omdat een blauwdruk ontbreekt, zijn het vooral de voorbeelden van anderen die inspireren en waar lessen uit kunnen worden getrokken. Kern van het boek vormen een vijftiental voorbeelden van Nederlandse bedrijven en organisaties die het C2C-concept toepassen. Of ze nu al een product of dienst hebben ontwikkeld, het voornemen hebben of midden in het proces zitten.

The book „Gemacht für die Zukunft … – Kreislaufwirtschaft in der Unternehmenspraxis“ presents a sustainable and practical form on how to economize today. The book presents several frontrunner companies practicing innovative ways of production and services. They are managing things according to Cradle to Cradle^® - a principle of never ending material loops.

Intelligent and innovative design allows these frontrunners to keep and recycle their pure recources without a loss of quality, and use them for new products. In this way, the companies save money, profit more and design human friendly products without harmful substances.
