Experience how Cradle to Cradle Certified™ can activate the circular economy

Next September, Barcelona will host the Cradle to Cradle® community for a whole week. It will be an intense time, starting with 3 days of training for new advisors at the LCI, to give way to the HULA HOOP EXPERIENCE and the Accredited Assessors Annual Meeting later at the Design Hub.

On Wednesday 19th, the BCD, in collaboration with EIG and Grupo Construcia, organizes the HULA HOOP EXPERIENCE, which brings together various actions around the role of design in the circular economy. It’s the first edition and will host, for the first time in Barcelona, ​​3 Cradle to Cradle® workshops adressed to designers and other professionals. The workshops will work on the application of the Cradle to Cradle Certified ™ products program for the development of products and systems in a circular economy. They will be divided in 3 tracks: FASHION, BUILT ENVIRONMENT and PACKAGING, and will work on cases of use of the C2C® approach for the development of circular products.

The construction case will be in charge of Grupo Construcía, G-STAR RAW will lead the fashion workshop and Cafés Novell will explain its experience in packaging development. In addition, members of the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute will share their experience, along with representatives of the value chain of each of the industries.
