Sustainability is no longer just a trend—it is a necessity, especially in logistics. Companies are under increasing pressure to make their supply chains more environmentally friendly. A truly circular economy, consistently implemented, could be the solution.
Clarity Through Certification
How can outsiders reliably determine whether a company follows this principle? The Cradle to Cradle® certification provides clear and trustworthy guidance. The term translates to „from cradle to cradle,“ reflecting the ambition to close the loop from origin to origin. This certification establishes high-quality standards and aims to design products in a way that ensures they can be fully reused or safely reintegrated into biological cycles at the end of their lifecycle. To achieve this, all materials used must be non-hazardous. Cradle to Cradle® sets new benchmarks, going beyond traditional environmental protection. It focuses on resource conservation, energy efficiency, and waste reduction—not just minimizing the ecological footprint but actively contributing positively to the environment. To achieve official Cradle to Cradle® certification, products are assessed in five key categories:- Material Health
- Product Circularity
- Renewable Energy & CO₂ Reduction
- Responsible Water Management
- Social Responsibility Across the Supply Chain
