What Does Cradle to Cradle Certification Mean To You?

Until recently, the eco-effectiveness of most building products was judged according to specific performance attributes, such as their ability to save energy, conserve water, eliminate airborne toxins or make use of recycled materials.

Today, due to the emphasis on green building, products are being assessed on their entire lifecycle. This approach encompasses not just how building products perform in a finished home, but also what materials they are made from, how they are manufactured and what impact they have on the environment once their life cycle is over.

Cradle to Cradle Certification was developed by McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry to systematize these principles. When you purchase a Cradle to Cradle Certified glass product from PPG, you can be assured that you’re getting a high-performance product that is aesthetically pleasing, energy efficient and environmentally friendly.

To find out why Cradle to Cradle Certification was developed and how PPG earned Cradle to Cradle certification, review our brochure titled: Cradle to Cradle Certified PPG Architectural Glasses.

Cradle to Cradle CertifiedCM is a certification mark of MBDC.
