Paper or plastic? Neither, say William McDonough and Michael Braungart. Why settle for the least harmful alternative when we could have something that is better--say, edible grocery bags! In Cradle to Cradle, the authors present a manifesto calling for a new industrial revolution, one that would render both traditional manufacturing and traditional environmentalism obsolete. Recycling, for instance, is actually "downcycling," creating hybrids of biological and technical "nutrients" which are then unrecoverable and unusable. The authors, an architect and a chemist, want to eliminate the concept of waste altogether, while preserving commerce and allowing for human nature. They offer several compelling examples of corporations that are not just doing less harm--they're actually doing some good for the environment and their neighborhoods, and making more money in the process. Cradle to Cradle is a refreshing change from the intractable environmental conflicts that dominate headlines. It's a handbook for 21st-century innovation and should be required reading for business hotshots and environmental activists. --Therese Littleton

Can you imagine that today in December 2007 some people still believe (and publicly state it) that there is some kind of a trade-off between economic growth and ecology?
The authors of this book demonstrate very practically why it is not true. The solutions proposed are not in the form of binding constraints and the examples taken by the authors come from their own (very successful) professional experience. Their have had as client a gigantic automobile corporation of Detroit as well as a textile manufacturer from Switzerland and to some extend Nike. They all have in common greater productivity, and increased health standard for worker and clients and very significant cost cut.
Get introduced to the concepts of downcycling and (genuine) recycling.
The main point of the authors is that we should switch from a "one size fits all" standardized world to a "haute couture" highly engineered, customized and creative world. The book, the object in itself, illustrate their point and shows how consequent they are with the ideas the propose us.
By the way, I just saw Brad PITT on TV, working hand in hand with one of the authors of the book (William McDONOUGH) to provide new generation homes and utilities for the victims of Katrina.

Interessant neue Ansätze. Meiner Meinung nach, viele Seiten, jedoch nur wenig wirkliche Information. Dieses Buch ist mehr ein Aufruf, um die Einstellung der Menschen zu ändern und weniger ein Buch um wirkliches Hintergrundwissen zu erhalten.
Nichts desto trotz, interessant um das Cradle to Cradle Prinzip kennenzulernen.

What I liked most about this book is the concept of eco-effectiveness. Braungart explains how businesses are able to become more environmental friendly and more profitable by restructuring their production processes and supply chain. I doubt that this is as feasible for any business or organization as it might sound like while reading the book, but it sure is a brilliant concept. I recommend this book to anyone who wants his business to be green and sustainable. If you want to have a positive effect on this planet, read it and integrate it into your daily business.

Eye opener
This book is very interesting. It brings a new perspective of how companies should do/produce things. Independently of our opinion, this book opens our eyes.
