“Eliminating the concept of waste means designing things - products, packaging and systems - from the outset in such a way that there is no waste.

Our globally established linear economic system is not sustainable in the long term. We extract finite resources from the earth, use them and dispose of them. Currently, around 90% of all materials are lost. However, in order to preserve them, we need to “think in cycles” with our products. Buildings in particular are “urban mines” and are full of a wide variety of raw materials.
Cradle to Cradle Certified® follows the principle of circular economy. Every material has a value and should be used repeatedly in value creation via technical and biological cycles. With this philosophy in mind, we at Gira have had selected products tested that now meet the Cradle to Cradle® Standard 4.0.
