Cradle o Cradle (C2C) is a new approach o design

and producion ha combines innovaion and

susainabiliy. The name C2C reers o he con-

inuous cycle in which maerials should remain

in circulaion, essenially creaing sysems ha

are wase-ree. Furhermore, C2C ocuses on he

uncion o he paricular produc – ha is, wha

is is purpose? Producs are rarely inended o be

harmul o he environmen, his is a mosly

unwaned side eec. C2C encourages people o

redesign producs or o design hem in such a way

ha hey achieve heir inended purpose in he

bes way possible wihou any negaive side-eecs,

or raher wih posiive side-eecs. C2C signies

a shi away rom he more classical approach,

i.e. minimising he damage o he environmen,

owards acually increasing he qualiy o lie and

he qualiy o he environmen.

C2C hereore advocaes a new way o designing

producs and services. C2C-designed producs will

be valuable o he economy and o he environmen

because hey are:

- pracical and uncional or he user, increasing

he chance o he produc being purchased.

- healhy or everybody and anyhing ha comes

in conac wih hem.

According o he C2C philosophy, qualiaive

improvemen is based on hree principles:

1 Everyhing is inended as a nurien or some-

hing else (Wase equals Food).

2 Use energy creaed rom solar energy and graviy.

3 Embrace diversiy (as a concep, culurally, and

in erms o biodiversiy).

The essence o Cradle o Cradle (C2C) is he

meaphor: Wase equals Food. Producs belong

o one o he ollowing wo cycles:

- The biological cycle

In his cycle, producs are designed o be saely

consumed by naure. When (pars o) hese

producs wear ou, evaporae, dissolve or are

buried in he soil, hey ‘eed’ he biological sysem.

- The technological cycle

In his cycle, maerials and producs (or produc

componens) are re-used again and again in a new

produc generaion. These producs mus be

chemically sable during use. Moreover, aer hey

have ullled heir uncion i mus be possible o

break hem down ino usable new raw maerials.

The ingrediens o hese echnical nuriens mus

be careully dened.

Cradle o Cradle is hereore primarily a sraegy

or produc design and an approach ha essenially

suis suppliers. For he Governmen, however,

susainable public procuremen is a cusomer-

oriened sraegy, devised and realised rom he

perspecive o procuremen ocers working or 

Governmen organisaions (or raher he eam o 

managers, employees, advisers ha are involved

in procuremen and calls or enders, hereinaer 

reerred o as ‘procuremen eams’). Needless o say,

hese wo groups are relaed o each oher, and his

brochure describes how C2C can be simulaed

hrough Governmen procuremen.

2. What is Cradle to Cradle?

1. Introduction

Sustainable public procurement is all about taking environmental and social aspects into account 

during every stage o the procurement process. Together with local authorities, the Government wants

to stimulate the market or sustainable products by leading by example and by itsel adopting 

sustainable procurement practices. Organisations will be able to procure products and services

sustainably by including sustainability criteria in all o their calls or tenders and procurement 

processes. The Ministry o Inrastructure and the Environment, together with the authorities, has

drawn up sustainability criteria or a number o product groups. These sustainability criteria can be

downloaded rom www.agentschapnl.nl/duurzaaminkopen.

These sustainable procurement criteria will orm the basis or the sustainability that the Government wishes to put into practice. But much more is possible. Some Government organisations want to go

urther than these criteria. For those organisations, the adoption o the sustainability criteria is

already common practice and their sustainability aspirations are more ar-reaching. They are likely to

get acquainted with Cradle to Cradle at some point. In any case, or these and other organisations this

brochure explains how the Cradle to Cradle philosophy can be applied to the procurement process.

The importance o recording aspirations:

Rijnstraat 8

The cliens have described heir wishes in

an aspiraion documen. The renovaed

building mus have he ollowing qualiies:

- Green: no less bad bu good: he building

mus have a posiive ecological ooprin.

- Inelligen: he building mus have a

modern and varied oce concep based on

‘he New Way o Working’ (a Duch policy

documen).

- Vial: he building mus help o simulae

he vialiy o he users, he organisaion

and he urban area in which i is locaed.

These hree aspiraions are worked ou

in deail in he aspiraion documen. For

example, ‘Green’ means ha he building

mus supply clean energy, supply cleaner air

and waer han came ino he building and

mus be uure-proo, ec.

The ull aspiraion documen can be

downloaded rom:

htp://www.rgd.nl/onderwerpen/  

de-gebouwen/vernieuwing-rijnsraa-

The C2C concep is closely relaed o developmens

ha have aken place in environmenal policy over 

he pas 15 years − or example, in he conex o 

inegral chain managemen and eco-design. In a

number o recen Governmen documens, Cradle

o Cradle is reerred o as an inspiring concep −or example, in he Susainable Developmen

Governmen policy, in he 2008 Indusry leter 

and in he Naional Wase Managemen Plan (LAP2).

A presen, C2C is also playing a role in he develop-

men o maerials policy and he ormulaion o 

crieria or susainable public procuremen.

For more inormaion abou C2C’s compaibiliy

wih various Governmen incenive schemes,see www.agenschapnl.nl/cradle-o-cradle.

Susainable public procuremen by he Governmen

is based on he commimen made by Governmen

organisaions o ake susainabiliy aspecs ino

consideraion when making decisions on procure-

men and calls o ender. They will henceorh

choose o procure relaively susainable goods and

services and in ha way increase he marke share o 

susainable producs and services: rom he margins

o he mainsream. Procuremen eams working or 

he Governmen can simulae he C2C approach by:

- making he way heir own organisaion operaes

C2C-proo 

- choosing a suiable procuremen sraegy

- procuring C2C producs

- using he C2C-relaed call or enders crieria

recorded in he crieria documens.

These poins are worked ou in deail in he secions

below.

4.1 Making the way the

organisation operates

Cradle to Cradle-proo 

Beore acually procuring a produc, he procure-

men eam can ask isel wheher he procuremen

will help o realise a C2C-oriened uure. Wha are

he susainabiliy arges o his Governmen

organisaion and how do hey link up wih he C2C

principles? Does his organisaion have concree

long-erm aspiraions o improve waer and air 

qualiy, or example? How do hese aspiraions

ranslae o his specic, planned procuremen

o a produc or service? The example on he page

opposie displays he aspiraions or he renovaion

o he Minisry o Inrasrucure and he Environmen

building a Rijnsraa 8 in The Hague.

A descripion o he cusomer’s aspiraions or a

produc or service enables he marke o come up

wih creaive soluions. I is a good idea o ormulae

procuremen crieria aer marke consulaion

in order o ake opimal advanage o he laes

innovaive developmens. In he case o 

‘Rijnsraa 8’, marke paries were asked wha hey

had o oer o realise hese aspiraions beore a call

or enders in order o es he easibiliy o he

aspiraions in advance.

However, Cradle o Cradle involves much more

han dening how a produc should be procured.

Changes will also have o be made in he company’s

own business operaions. This hen makes i

necessary, or example, o consider how producs

will be conveyed away/processed aer use by he

Governmen insiuion so ha he maerials used

in he produc are indeed reurned o he inended

biological or echnological cycle.

I may also be necessary o re-examine inernal

working mehods. For example, budges may need

o be organised in a dieren way so ha he coss

during use are also aken ino accoun during he

procuremen process (Toal Cos o Ownership,

TCO). For example, can he organisaion lease oce

urniure insead o procuring i? In his way, he

logisics or reurned goods are easier o organise.

Can devices be repaired or can hey ull a new

useul uncion elsewhere aer use? Can workplaces

be organised dierenly so ha i is possible o

procure beter producs? By hinking explicily and

creaively abou which need mus be saised, he

number o possible C2C-proo soluions will

increase.

These choices have he bes chance o success i he

organisaion has clear susainabiliy objecives and

ranslaes hem ino procuremen objecives. Cradle

o Cradle procuremen requires personnel o be

well-inormed. Personnel can acquire (more)

knowledge abou susainabiliy and C2C by aking

par in raining courses and workshops.

levels: Basic, Silver, Gold and Plainum C2C

cericaes. On he one hand, hese cericae levels

refec he radical C2C ambiion o achieve complee-

ly closed cycles (he echnological and biological

cycles), he banning o oxic subsances and he

swich o susainable sources o energy, and on he

oher hand hey refec he pragmaic C2C working

mehod based on sep-by-sep progression. For 

example, or he Basic and Silver C2C hallmarks only

produc inormaion is required (deailed knowledge

o he maerials ha make up he produc and he

energy used o produce he produc), plus he

inenion (Basic) or a sraegic plan (Silver) o ackle

he problemaic aspecs relaed o he produc.

Public auhoriies are no permited o make

hallmarks/cericaes compulsory or a produc,

as his would confic wih European ender 

regulaions. However, a hallmark/cericae or a

procuremen can serve as proo ha he produc

complies wih measurable minimum requiremens

derived rom ha hallmark. Several produc groups

have Governmen procuremen crieria based on

elemens incorporaed ino he more common

hallmarks such as he European Eco label, he

Nordic Swan, Blaue Engel, ec. In a similar way,

here are some elemens o C2C or which he

procuremen eam can include a crierion (see

also he ollowing secion). Crieria based on

hese elemens should reward he suppliers o 

C2C-ceried producs or heir eors by improving

heir chance o being awarded a ender.

The curren marke supply o C2C ceried producs

relevan or Duch cusomers is acually very limied.

The available producs are displayed on he MBDC

websie,www.mbdc.com .

4.4 Applying the Cradle to

Cradle-related criteria rom

the criteria documents

Procuremen eams do no have o resric hem-

selves o he curren supply o C2C producs on he

marke (esed according o DI minimum require-

mens). The Governmen’s susainabiliy crieria

also include requiremens and wishes inspired byhe philosophy behind he C2C approach. Appendix

1 conains a range o C2C aspecs according o which

C2C rendseters in he marke can disinguish

hemselves. This appendix was compiled in

consulaion wih he C2C Learning Communiy,

a group o leading Duch companies ha are closely

involved wih Cradle o Cradle. For each produc,

procuremen eams can develop crieria ha are

consisen wih hese aspiraions. The poins o 

ocus in Appendix 1 can hereore also be used by

procuremen sa a companies ha oen have

more opions open o hem in heir procuremen

process due o dieren ender regulaions.

Appendix 2 includes an example o a C2C-inspired

award crierion based on a number o C2C elemens.

This crierion is aimed a providing producs ha

are suiable or uure re-use wih an advanage.

I is an example o an award crierion ha helps

Cradle o Cradle produc and services providers o

sand ou rom heir compeiors during a procure-

men process. This sample crierion is inended o

inspire. For each produc, he procuremen ocer 

mus assess wheher all poins in he award

crierion are appropriae or he produc o be

procured. Or wheher i is possible o acually

include exra elemens derived rom C2C (see

Appendix 1). I is obvious ha his crierion will be

easier o apply o producs wih jus a small number 

o dieren componens and maerials. For example,

i is easier or he suppliers o garden seas o speciy

how heir produc saises hese crieria han or 

elevision producers.

In addiion, i is sill imporan ha procuremen

ocers are aware o he marke supply and make

sure ha he requiremens comply wih he legal

rameworks o he European ender regulaions.

4.2 Choosing a suitable

procurement strategy 

Prior o procuring a produc or service, he

procuremen eam can choose one o he procure-

men sraegies approved by European law, such as

privae procuremen, MEAT, public or non-public

calls or enders, DBFMO conracs (Design Build

Finance Mainain Operae), a design cones,

compeiion-oriened dialogue, call or enders by

negoiaion, ec. Every sraegy is linked o is own

regulaions and provides a greaer or lesser amoun

o space or he ollowing, or example:

- pre-selecion o (C2C-oriened) suppliers

- rewarding susainabiliy when awarding enders

- innovaive proposals by suppliers

- ineracion/ cooperaion beween supplier and

cusomer.

can bene rom his approach. I is in hese areas

ha he Governmen can exercise a srong infuence

during he design sage. These ypes o projecs are

radiionally oen pu ou o ender wih very

deailed specicaions, and are awarded o he

always be suitable or ormulating criteria.

Appendix 1 Points o ocus or C2C procurement 

Stimulate local solutions.

Supplier is involving local suppliers and customers

Supplier is adapting to local needs

Do no harm: conscious use of good-quality and

healthy materials.

Thecomposition of the supplied products is known up to 100 ppm,even in the case of recycled materials.

For each product, it has been dened for which use and whichperiod of use the product has been designed and for which cyclethe components are intended.

The product contains no known toxic materials in the intendedspecic application. For this information, link up withknowledge/expertise/criteria from certication schemes.

The impact of the product ingredients on people and the environmentis known and has been tested independently. For ingredients with aprohibited impact, there is a plan for phasing out those ingredients.

Products intended for the technical cycle contain as manyrecyclablematerials as possible which are healthy during theperiod of use.

Products intended for the biological cycle contain as manymaterials as possible that can be biologically degraded/ compostedsafely under dened conditions.

As many of the materials as possible in the product are recyclable

or compostable or have been recycled or are rapidly renewable.

Waste equals food: circulate materials incontinuous loops.

Supplier has a plan for re-use of the materials by the company

itself or by another producer.

Supplier arranges for the return of products.

Products can be collected separately .

Products consist of as few dierent materials as possible.

Products have been marked so that the materials they containare identiable.

Products are easy to dismantle.

Products consist of as few components as possible.

Improved air, soil and water quality.

Supplier indicates how the company is working energy-positively .

Supplier is itself using sustainable energy for its own productionprocess/oces.

Supplier has a plan to make the company’s energy consumption

sustainable.

Supplier supplies products that produce rapidly renewableenergy .

Increase diversity.

In addition to intended function, the product has an extra qualitythat contributes to the quality of life of people and theenvironment ( added value).

Supplier is helping to increase biodiversity by means of theproduct design/materials/facilities used in the chain.

Social responsibility.

Supplier has a corporate social responsibility (CSR) policy , whichhas been communicated externally and which denes social andenvironmental targets. (ISO 26000)

Supplier has a code of conduct and/or ethics.

Supplier has an externally veried report dening the social andenvironmental objectives and results.

The company subscribes to ILO and OESO directives.

This sample criterion is intended to be inspirational. For each product, the procurement ofcer

will have to assess whether all o the points in the award criterion are suitable or the product to be

procured. In addition, the procurement ofcer must always be aware o the market supply and make

sure that the requirements comply with the legal rameworks o the European tender regulations.
