"We believe in making the biological cycle of Cradle to Cradle the industrial standard. Only by joining forces can we accelerate the paradigm shift towards more social and environmental responsibility."
KAREN RAUSCHENBACH
President Circular Clothing Cooperative
"As a visionary concept, Cradle to Cradle offers a tangible solution to the problems of resource waste and environmental pollution. Therefore, we appreciate the commitment of C2C NGO, which contributes enormously to the nationwide dissemination of the Cradle to Cradle principle and the networking of all relevant actors. For us, C2C is not only the way to circular buildings and products, but the key to a livable and sustainable future."
DR. PETER MÖSLE
Partner of Drees & Sommer SE and Managing Director EPEA GmbH – Part of Drees & Sommer
,,Sustainability determines our corporate strategy. Circular Economy will be an increasingly important pillar in all six of our industries in the future. For us, cooperation with C2C NGO is important because only in strong communities we will be able to find new solutions and master the challenges of the socio-ecological transformation.''
CHRISTINA OPITZ
Member of the Board, GLS Bank
"We plan according to Cradle to Cradle principles out of a sense of responsibility to preserve the beauty and diversity of this world. Together in an active network of different professions, we see the greatest chances of success for this."
CHRISTIAN VOGLER
Managing Founding Partner, filamente GmbH
"Greenlife is an expert in recyclable water management. The company develops and produces systems with which private households, industry and commerce can supply themselves with water in a decentralized and self-sufficient manner. This conserves groundwater reserves and other important resources."
FRIEDHELM NEUMANN
Managing Director GreenLife GmbH
"We believe in a world without waste. Only if we consistently recycle raw materials we can relieve the burden on our planet and preserve the basis of life for future generations. We therefore support the work of the C2C NGO with full conviction. As a leading circular services provider, we know: Networking and cooperation are enormously important in order to fully tap the potential of the Circular Economy."
ALEXANDER MAAK
Head of Zero Waste Solutions National, Interzero
"KOSMOS was one of the first publishers to produce books according to the Cradle to Cradle principle back in 2016. The idea of a continuous cycle and healthy materials convinced us right from the start. Cradle to Cradle provides interesting best practice examples from different industries and promotes networking between business and politics. We really appreciate this exchange and learning together because it motivates, inspires, and brings us step by step closer to our goal of making books and games environmentally friendly."
MICHAEL FLEISSNER
Managing Director of KOSMOS Verlag
"At Lindner, we don't wait for solutions, we develop them ourselves. That's why we have been working for years on materials and production processes that can be recycled, as well as deconstructible solutions for interior construction. With circular business models, we also close the circle in use. With C2C NGO, we have a good comrade-in-arms to drive our visions forward."
HEINRICH BÜCHNER
Managing Director der Lindner Group
"We want to make products for circular loops. Products that become nutrients, not waste. Let's think in a new way! As an Impact Partner, we promote the C2C vision and contribute to the health of people and the environment."
RALF LOKAY
Managing Director of Umweltdruckerei Lokay e.K.
"We support C2C NGO and thus the dissemination of the C2C concept as a foundation and blueprint to build our future on and to achieve an overall turnaround - as quickly and as thoroughly as possible."

"Thanks to C2C, children can put our picture books in their mouths without worrying. They are healthy, leave no toxic waste, and are therefore perfect for a biological cycle.
Just like C2C NGO, we also want to make this concept known. Through the NGO's network and various events, we get a wider reach and the support we need to spread the C2C idea."

"Closing the material cycles for material-healthy products is essential for a future fit for grandchildren. To spread this idea, we need to develop a wave that inspires the whole society and mobilizes all forces. For this, we need strong partners like C2C NGOs."

Sportswear still ends up everywhere, but not in functioning technical cycles. Moreover, it is often not suitable for direct skin contact. For this reason, it must at least be designed to be environmentally safe and function for the biological cycle. Ideally, the technical cycle is thought of directly. Through the impact partnership at C2C NGO, we get insights into the challenges of like-minded people from other industries, new partners, access to know-how, joint projects and, in some cases, the press.

"At the moment, the global climate targets cannot be met with the conventional use of materials in construction. Not only must the business become more efficient, but also the building itself must become radically circular. Walk the talk: this has also been implemented with the new company headquarters "De Reehorst", which was built according to Cradle to Cradle criteria."
GEORG SCHÜRMANN
Managing Director Triodos Bank N.V. Deutschland
"At Troldtekt we have designed our business strategy according to C2C principles. Based on this, we can work systematically with sustainability in terms of both our product and the production. At the same time, we see C2C as a means to spread a true circular economy in the construction industry - and therefore, it goes without saying that we support C2C NGO."
PEER LETH
CEO Troldtekt Deutschland GmbH
"Doing business within planetary boundaries - this is the potential that Cradle to Cradle has for us. Especially in the construction industry, this is urgently needed. C2C NGO is the hub for networking people who want to make a difference."

"We know that protecting the environment and people is demanding. That is why our product development goes beyond what is required by law. Our aim has always been to develop new, environmentally friendly and sustainable alternatives to existing solutions. This is why we support the work of C2C NGO. It is only by working together that we can integrate the circular economy into the economy in a sustainable and meaningful way."
PHILIPP UTZ
Member of the Board, Uzin Utz
"The topic of sustainability cannot be thought through to the end without the principle of the circular economy. We consider the entire process: from purchasing the fibers to manufacturing and packaging our products to recycling or disposal. At every step of the process, we are guided by the concept of the circular economy and driven to rethink our processes."

"In our C2C surfaces, we combine resource efficiency and resource effectiveness. We strive for the C2C principle in both the product and the process.
