Cradle to Cradle

This jacket has been grown in a lab - complete with patterning by Suzanne Lee. http://www.biocouture.co.uk


The Cradle to Cradle (C2C) concept has been around since the 70's but in the last decade it has been re-considered and is currently utilised as a key way of thinking in terms of sustainabilty, ecology, ethis etc. The principles of C2C are to consider what materials you are using and consider while in the design process where they will end up and ultimatly how they can be used after their initial use. The list here gives an overview of some of the terms used.
There is a good book which I believe is called Cradle to Cradle but will find it and add in here later.
