1 Cradle to Cradle Certification Guy Van Marcke de Lummen 1
2 Green product certifications: The choice Labels: Can be granted by NGOs, public bodies or private companies Based on criteria defined by an ISO international standard Can take into account the life cycle of product 2
3 Green Product certifications: The choice Criteria used for the selection: Global recognition Length of labelling process Application field: product Rating system Type of info to be provided + testing type Know-how in the building sector 3
4 Cradle to Cradle Certification program: Overview Concept developed by Chemist M Braungart and Architect W McDonough Certification started in
5 Cradle to Cradle Certification program: Overview Total certifications by product Service providers MBDC Charlottesville, USA EPEA Hamburg, Germany Around 500 certified products Over 60% of certified products apply to building and interior products 5
6 Cradle to Cradle Certification program: Overview Certification Process 2010: non-profit «Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute» formed to manage and administer the certification program 2012: started issuing certificates via C2CPII 6
7 Cradle to Cradle: Principles Take Make Waste and associated challenges: a world of limits Growth in consumption of raw materials Resources depletion Surge in price of non-renewables Untapped resources in landfills 7
8 Cradle to Cradle: Principles A concept in which waste and by-products act as raw materials for a new product The concept is broader than recycling and focuses not on reducing consumption but on sustainable development (ecoeffectiveness) 8
9 Cradle to Cradle: Principles Eco-effectiveness Creating a positive footprint through innovation. Growth is good. More of a good thing Waste equals food Use current solar income Celebrate diversity 9
10 Cradle to Cradle: Principles C2C in a Nutshell Products and processes are designed in such a way that materials remain available to humans and their natural environment. Products are designed so that the materials can be completely reused in the technical cycle. Products in the technical cycle must act as a high-quality raw material for new products in the technological domain. Absolutely no harmful waste substances may be released during the manufacturing process. Products are manufactured using sustainable energy sources. Continuous improvement required. 10
11 Cradle to Cradle Certification: criteria - Criteria on 5 topics Material health Material reutilization & carbon management Renewable energy use Water stewardship Social responsibility - Focus on product rather than on life cycle - Absolute pass or fail criteria and product rating - Emphasis on optimizing product design 11
12 Cradle to Cradle Certification: Criteria Example: Toxicity Ratings for Chemicals Cradle to Cradle Toxicity Ratings for Chemicals Deep chemistry inventory: the product formulation of each product down to 0.01% must be obtained. Collect formulation information throughout the supply chain. Ban of some substances above 0.1 %. Green Yellow Red Grey Banned Little to no risk associated with this substance. Preferred for use in its intended application Low to moderate risk associated with this substance. Acceptable for continued use unless a GREEN alternative is available. High hazard and risk associated with the use of this substance. Develop strategy for phase out Incomplete data. Cannot be characterized. As, Cd, Cr VI, Hg, PVC, flame retardants, phtalates, etc. 12
13 Pass or fail criteria* Material health Cradle to cradle toxicity ratings for chemicals - colour matrix Limit for Hg, Pb, Cd, CrVI thresholds for certain chemicals no red assessed chemicals 50% green assessed materials Material reutilization Material Reutilization Score = [( % Recyclable/Compostable Content X 2) + (% Recycled/Renewable Content X 1)] / 3 Intention to optimize product as Technical or Biological Nutrient product Renewable energy use Characterization of energy Energy amount for product manufacture/ assembly Strategic plan to supply that energy via current solar income 50% renewable energy or through purchases of renewable energy certificates (RECs) and carbon offsets 50% of the entire energy footprint must be renewably powered Water Stewardship Characterization of water Water Stewardship Guidelines Water audit for manufacturing facility Water audit for manufacturing facility Implement innovative water conservation and water discharge measures. Social Responsibility Characterization of business practices Respecting diversity = one Publication of corporate central principles of Cradle to ethics or social Cradle. Manufacturers -> to performance goals practice business -> respects the health, safety, and rights of people and the planet. Third party social accreditation or certification The company must complete a third party social responsibility certification. Criteria
14 Cradle to Cradle Certification: Process Cradle to Cradle Certified CM program: Applies to products or materials sold in B2C or B2B Does not apply to people, businesses, buildings, or processes. 14
15 Certification Examples (1) Interior Design 15
16 Certification Examples (2) Building Materials 16
17 Why Green certification for Glass products? LCA is today considered as the best way to assess products, however: Do not fully address the presence of hazardous substances Does not allow simple comparison of products i.e. no rating system Do not give information on the environmental management in the supply chain Do not take into account energy & CO 2 saved by the building during use phase kg CO 2 e /m² Single Glazing 12.2 Double Glazing 21.7 Triple Glazing
18 Insulating & Solar Control Glass units Reduce Heating need Reduce Air Conditioning need Reduce Lighting need Insulating Glass Source: Glass for Europe Solar Control Glass Source: Glass for Europe Light Transmission 18
19 Carbon Footprint at Product level The process of manufacturing flat glass for building applications inevitably has a cost in terms of CO 2 emitted, but the emissions are by far offset due to the savings in use. CO 2 emissions The product of 1 m² of low-e double glazing unit is responsible for the emission of 22 kg CO 2 Based on LCA CO 2 avoided On the other hand, the CO 2 saved by replacing one square metre of single glazing by low-e double glazing represents 91 kg CO 2 per year. The CO 2 emitted during production is thus offset after only 3 10 months use. Based on Carbon Footprint 19
20 Need for an Integrated approach LCA Carbon Footprint C2C Eco-Label Multi criteria: Energy Raw material Air Water Waste Etc. Multiple impact assessment: Human toxicity, Ecotoxicity, Resource depletion, Land occupation, Acidification GHG gases Climate change Multi criteria: Type energy Hazardous substances Water use Recycling Etc. Multiple Pass or Fail criteria Rating Material health Material reutilization & carbon management Renewable energy use Water stewardship Social responsibility Product Functional unit Product Services Organisation 20 Product
