Cradle to Cradle

Cradle to cradle (C2C) refers to a green concept of zero waste. Whatever is leftover during the manufacture of a product is reused, and when the product itself, or any of its constituent parts has reached the end of its lifespan as that particular product, it is recycled into another product or returned to the earth as compost. There is even green certification that goes along with C2C design. Imagine eco-friendly diapers. Well an Australian couple designed gDiapers, and they obtained C2C certification to lend credibility to the environment friendly nature of their diapers. The gDiapers are composed of a washable cotton outer pant and a flushable non-plastic inner refill. Sounds like a great idea.
