this approach perpetuates a one-way, "cradle to grave" manufacturing model that dates to the Industrial Revolution and casts off as much as 90 percent of the materials it uses as waste, much of it toxic. Why not challenge the notion that human industry must inevitably damage the natural worl...

McDonough, an architect, and Braungart, a chemist, argue that the cradle-to-grave manufacturing model is inherently wasteful. Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things To most environmentalists, our polluted oceans and skies, our overflowing landfills and toxic waste dumps all make compel...
Cradle-to-cradle: is a variation of Cradle-to-grave, but exchanges the waste stage with a recycling/upcycling process that makes materials or components reusable for another product – essentially “closing the loop”. (Stages 1-5, with 5 being equivalent to another Stage 1) Life Cycle Models...

Establishment of 'cradle-to-grave' guidelines for procurement, use, and disposal of solvents at installations is one way the Army can manage and control hazardous materials. This report presents information derived from a literature review and installation site visits; this information has been used ...
In Figure 1, the system boundary diagram depicts the life cycle from cradle to grave for dry legumes in their natural state. The main processes were subdivided into upstream, core, and downstream ones and included the following steps: Figure 1. System boundary of the production and consumption ...

The result is toxic slag that has to be disposed of as special waste. A rethink needs to happen. Products need to be designed and manufactured in such a way that all materials can either be recycled without any loss of quality or can be degraded biologically without leaving any harmful ...
regenerative cycles of nature provide models for wholly positive human designs. Within this framework we can create economies that purify air, land, and water, that rely on current solar income and generate no toxic waste, that use safe, healthful materials that replenish the earth or can be pe...
