About Cradle to Cradle Certified®
Cradle to Cradle Philosophy
The Cradle to Cradle Certified® products programme is an approach which evaluates a product’s overall sustainability across its entire life cycle. It expands the definition of safe materials and products that are designed and manufactured in a prosperous, circular economy to maximise health and well-being for people and the planet.
AGC Green Product Certification Journey
Cradle to Cradle
A Robust Framework That Ensures Safety, Sustainability And Reliability
Cradle to Cradle Criteria
Under the Cradle to Cradle Certified® product programme, a product is assessed based on five categories. All five categories are equally weighted, however, material health category is given more importance. In each category assessment, an achievement level will be awarded – Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum – with the lowest achievement level representing the product’s overall mark. The Cradle to Cradle Certified® product scorecard gives information on the achievement levels that AGC Glass Asia obtains in each of the five quality categories. Each C2C certification has a scorecard associated with it. This gives a detailed representation of how AGC Glass Asia performed in each quality category along with what we received as an "overall certification level."
