Cradle to cradle design

Published on October 27, 2005 By Rajiv Badlani In Business

http://www.mbdc.com has a totally inspiring concept on their website. This is what it says. “MBDC is articulating and putting into practice a new design paradigm; what Time calls "a unified philosophy that—in demonstrable and practical ways—is changing the design of the world." Instead of designing cradle-to-grave products, dumped in landfills at the end of their 'life,' MBDC transforms industry by creating products for cradle-to-cradle cycles, whose materials are perpetually circulated in closed loops. Maintaining materials in closed loops maximizes material value without damaging ecosystems”. We’re doing our modest bit on this front too. Scroll down to see the weblog titled “Turning junk into beauty while helping people” where we’ve attempted to precisely this. What we’re doing, of course, is going to the grave and turning it into a cradle. The whole story is at http://www.badlani.com/recycle But we’re not at all sure on how to take it to its potential and looking for help and advice, so please do share your thoughts…
