First designers now officially trained for developing Cradle to Cradle products

Introtekst: 
December 9-12, 2009, the first official Cradle to Cradle (C2C) training for designers will take place at EPEA Nederland (the Environmental Protection and Encouragement Agency founded by Prof. Dr. Michael Braungart) in Amsterdam. For this first ever training of its kind, a select group of Dutch designers will have a unique opportunity to work together on practical cases in an intensive learning program. By incorporating C2C methodology into their design practices, EPEA anticipates that these C2C accredited designers will be able to support companies in developing C2C products.
Hoofdtekst: 

The participating designers are looking forward to the training: ‘The C2C methodology is very inspiring for designers because we can see clear benefits for both clients and end-consumers. There have been so many discussions but still so few best practices to prove it. Besides learning from each other, we will also gain access to EPEA’s knowledge and experts. This unprecedented combination of network and expertise will enable us to realize projects in the near future ’. ‘In the end, we designers want to be challenged to create meaningful products that are not only less bad, but innately good’, they conclude, quoting Braungart.
