Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute Announces New Material Health Certificate Registry
Products Assessed for Material Health to Meet Rising Industry Demand.
The Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute has launched the Material Health Certificate Registry, a new online tool for identifying and communicating the work of manufacturers toward chemically optimized products. Two pilot companies, Owens Corning and ThyssenKrupp Elevator Americas, are the first to obtain certificates and today announced several products assessed against the Material Health requirements of the Cradle to Cradle Certified Product Standard.
The identification and elimination of chemicals of concern have become top priorities for the architecture and design community, as well as various trade groups, nonprofits, governments, and companies of all sizes and industry. The Material Health Certificate Registry will provide a free database for architects to find and specify products that have been assessed against the v3.1 Material Health Certification Standard which is governed by the Institute’s Certification Standards Board. Products that have achieved full Cradle to Cradle certification across all five attributes in the standard can still be found in the growing Cradle to Cradle Certified Product Registry.
