Abstract

A manifesto for a radically different philosophy and practice of manufacture and environmentalism"Reduce, reuse, recycle" urge environmentalists; in other words, do more with less in order to minimize damage. As William McDonough and Michael Braungart argue in their provocative, visionary book, however, 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 world, they ask.In fact, why not take nature itself as our model? A tree produces thousands of blossoms in order to create another tree, yet we do not consider its abundance wasteful but safe, beautiful, and highly effective; hence, "waste equals food" is the first principle the book sets forth. Products might be designed so that, after their useful life, they provide nourishment for something new-either as "biological nutrients" that safely re-enter the environment or as "technical nutrients" that circulate within closed-loop industrial cycles, without being "downcycled" into low-grade uses (as most "recyclables" now are).Elaborating their principles from experience (re)designing everything from carpeting to corporate campuses, the authors make an exciting and viable case for change.

Abstract

In this visionary book, chemist Michael Braungart and architect William McDonough challenge this status quo and put forward a manifesto for an intriguing and radically different philosophy of environmentalism."Reduce, reuse, recycle". This is the standard "cradle to grave" manufacturing model dating back to the Industrial Revolution that we still follow today. In this thought-provoking read, the authors propose that instead of minimising waste, we should be striving to create value. This is the essence of Cradle to Cradle: waste need not to exist at all. By providing a framework of redesign of everything from carpets to corporate campuses, McDonough and Braungart make a revolutionary yet viable case for change and for remaking the way we make things.

Abstract

In times of general instability change management is a great challenge. Our fossil mental patterns are not sufficient any more to be able to navigate sensibly the global scenario of complexity. Metaphorical thinking is a method which releases creative impulses into every change process and is of practical use, activating collective knowledge as a new network resource at the same time. This book reflects modern economy, ecology, sustainability and perception from an artistic perspective. However, it is not so much about "art", but rather how the modern artist takes on a serving role in the social arena again. He makes his creative knowledge available to connect processes of large-scale social development, he extends the boundaries of our scientifically limited world view and creates inspired playgrounds where the sensory-visionary can freely interact with the technically-necessary. This is no new aesthetic theory but rather a practical application of the creative process in operation at the crossroads of social interaction. Metaphorical thinking is emotionalized thinking and the observer is not separated from reality, but the centre, the starting point, of every change and new development. This volume offers creative ways to find solutions for a wide range of complex problems. It is a practical instrument for modern leadership and can be used to teach complexity in new ways. This work will help to create a global dialogue for sustainable change.

Abstract

Ce manifeste co-écrit par Michael Braungart, chimiste et enseignant en ingéniérie allemand, et William McDonough, architecte et designer, a été publié pour la première fois en 2002. Depuis, le concept d'éco-efficacité s'impose et s'applique. "Une fois que vous avez compris comment le processus de destruction se met en place [...] soit vous vous retrouvez impliqué dans une stratégie de tragédie, soit vous vous donnez les moyens de concevoir et de mettre en oeuvre une politique du changement.", chaque individu averti ne pourra que pratiquer les 4 "R" : réduire, réutiliser, recycler et réguler, devenir un autochtone, respecter la diversité, pour le bien de la planète. Présentation de l'éditeur : " Ô lecteur, dévore ce livre ! " souhaitent en secret la plupart des auteurs, et ceux de l'ouvrage que vous tenez entre vos mains ne dérogent pas à la règle, à ceci près que pour eux, la formule ne s'entend pas uniquement au sens figuré ! Car au-delà du fait que Michael Braungart et William McDonough espèrent que cet essai sera lu d'un trait par un lecteur passionné par le sujet, ils espèrent tout autant qu'un jour, le plus tôt possible, ce livre, comme toute production humaine, pourra littéralement être mangé, ou tout du moins digéré, sous forme biologique ou technologique. En effet, les deux auteurs de Cradle to Cradle, entendez du Berceau au Berceau - et non plus du berceau à la tombe ! - militent depuis plusieurs années pour une " éco-efficacité " qui ne mettrait plus la croissance économique et l'écologie dos-à-dos : plutôt que de chercher à réduire notre consommation, créons un modèle industriel basé sur une sorte de compostage appliqué à tous les objets, imitant ainsi l'équilibre des écosystèmes naturels. Loin des habituels discours catastrophistes sur l'avenir de notre planète, Cradle to Cradle propose des solutions concrètes qui peuvent faire de nos déchets d'aujourd'hui nos ressources de demain. Depuis sa parution initiale en américain, Cradle to Cradle a été traduit en plusieurs langues.

Abstract

Braungart en McDonough bepleiten volledig nieuwe uitgangspunten voor het ontwerpen en ontwikkelen van producten op basis van veilige en volledig herbruikbare grondstoffen. Zo kan afval voedsel worden in een oneindige kringloop.

Abstract

Reduce, reuse, recycle' urge environmentalists; in other words, do more with less in order to minimize damage. But as architect William McDonough and chemist Michael Braungart point out in this provocative, visionary book, this approach only perpetuates the one-way, 'cradle to grave' manufacturing model, dating to the Industrial Revolution, that creates such fantastic amounts of waste and pollution in the first place. Why not challenge the belief that human industry must damage the natural world? In fact, why not take nature itself as our model for making things? A tree produces thousands of blossoms in order to create another tree, yet we consider its abundance not wasteful but safe, beautiful and highly effective. Waste equals food. Guided by this principle, McDonough and Braungart explain how products can be designed from the outset so that, after their useful lives, they will provide nourishment for something new - continually circulating as pure and viable materials within a 'cradle to cradle' model. Drawing on their experience in redesigning everything from carpeting to corporate campuses, McDonough and Braungart make an exciting and viable case for putting eco-effectiveness into practice, and show how anyone involved in making anything can begin to do so as well.

Abstract

This book proposes a new vision for modern industry. Instead of our current wasteful and polluting methods of manufacturing, we could be taking nature as a model for making things. With the right redesign, objects that have come to the end of their useful lives should provide the basis for something new. In designing and producing products we need to stop worrying about being 'less bad' and start finding ways of actually being good. Find here a radical manifesto and a plan for our planet in which all waste can be put to good use.
