WHY DO WE NEED CRADLE TO CRADLE IN MUNICIPALITIES?

We need Cradle to Cradle because…

Current linear production and economic practices “from cradle to grave” lead to resource depletion and environmental destruction.
The transformation to an innovative, healthy, and circular economy that thinks “from cradle to cradle” is urgently needed.
Interconnected challenges require interconnected solutions: C2C as a holistic concept brings climate and resource protection together by decoupling economic growth from planetary boundaries.
C2C, as the gold standard of circular economy, creates social, environmental, and economic added value for the city of tomorrow.
Without municipalities, there can be no transformation! Cities, towns, and districts offer particularly high potential for C2C solutions.

C2C offers the opportunity to work together to shape a livable future, in which…

“Houses like trees and cities like forests”
buildings are municipal raw material storage facilities of tomorrow,
cities are designed to be socially just and healthy for people and the environment,
public contracting authorities procure in an exemplary and future-proof manner,
municipal and economic synergies can be promoted as needed,
municipalities learn from other municipal C2C pioneers, and enjoy the transformation!

„We must radically rethink now, and — this is where I fully agree with Cradle to Cradle — we have to link this with quality of life.“

Prof. Dr. DIRK MESSNER,
President of the German Environment Agency

„Designing and implementing circular construction is a shared challenge that we want to take on to create more liveable and future-proof spaces. We want to preserve resources and contribute to solutions. Together we are stronger — we can learn from one another and share the knowledge we gain.“

SUSANNE KLINGER,
Advisor for Construction-Related Energy and Environmental Management, BIM Berliner Immobilienmanagement GmbH

„Exchanging ideas with other municipalities and cities is always valuable, especially on the topic of C2C, which offers so many opportunities for local authorities.”

Dr. ANDREAS BUKOWSKI,
Mayor of the City of Haar

„We feel the consequences of a linear economy everywhere — which makes it all the more important to think and act in cycles now. Cities and municipalities, like Berlin, are facing major structural changes — and with them the opportunity to shape real future projects."
