Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute (C2C) is celebrating manufacturers of everything from clothing and furniture to carpets and cleaning products who have committed to “remake the way they make things” – transforming product design and leading a new industrial revolution. Following the lead of the green building industry, manufacturers from fashion, beauty, home and lifestyle brands are striving to make every product that touches our lives adhere to the highest standards of environmental and human safety.
A total of 200 companies have already chosen to improve their products by reducing toxins, increasing reusability of materials and creating a healthier world. Together they are innovating products ranging from mushroom packaging that replaces polystyrene foam to house paint and plaster that prohibits mold-inducing bacteria and promotes cleaner air in your home.
