Think circular to spark innovation and collaboration

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Cradle to Cradle®, Circular Economy, and Life Cycle Thinking are approaches that help to understand the full impact of a product over its life cycle. Explore synergies and key differences between these concepts. Find out how they can support product innovation without shifting burdens across the life-cycle or within supply chains. Combining the Cradle to Cradle® design concept with quantitative LCA assessments facilitates the move from “doing less bad to doing more good”.
