Cradle to Cradle (book by William McDonough and Michael Braungart)
William McDonough and Michael Braungart's 2002 book Cradle to Cradle popularized the idea that materials should be designed as biological or technical nutrients that flow in safe, continuous cycles.
This critique was powerfully amplified for a global design audience by William McDonough and Michael Braungart, whose seminal 2002 book popularized a philosophy that views materials as either biological or technical nutrients in safe, continuous cycles.
