The architectural community drives sustainable construction
How construction products are designed and selected today shapes the world we will inhabit tomorrow. That is why we joined the movement that is rethinking, redesigning, and transforming the system one sustainable facade at a time. Cradle to Cradle Certified® provides architects with fact-based, at-a-glance assurance that EQUITONE’s facade materials meet some of the world’s most rigorous sustainability standards.
What is Cradle to Cradle Certified®?
The Cradle to Cradle Certified® Product Standard is the leading multi-attribute standard used globally for designing and making products that enable a healthy, equitable, and sustainable future. It is widely regarded throughout the building industry as the preferred sustainability standard.
How Cradle to Cradle Certified® is awarded
Certification is awarded based upon independent assessment of a product or material according to five critical categories of sustainability performance:
- Material Health
- Product Circularity
- Clean Air & Carbon
- Water & Soil Stewardship
- Social Fairness
