Carnegie is proud to announce that Xorel Fabrics and Surface IQ wallcovering have achieved MBDC Cradle to Cradle (C2C) Silver Level Certification.
Cradle to Cradle Certification provides a company with a means to
tangibly, credibly measure achievement in environmentally-intelligent
design and helps customers purchase and specify products that are
pursuing a broader definition of quality.
Cradle to Cradle (C2C) assesses products on a number of criteria, such
as the use of safe and healthy materials; design for material reuse and
recycling; efficient use of energy and water throughout production; and
instituting strategies for social responsibility. The Cradle to Cradle
design paradigm was developed by William McDonough and Dr.Michael
Braungart, and the certification program is administered by their firm,
McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC).
This third party certification is considered the most comprehensive
environmental product evaluation in the world today since it considers
a multitude of criteria, beginning with a thorough material input analysis.
This certification of Xorel and Surface iQ is part of Carnegie’s continuing mandate to create and innovate environmentally sound textiles and wallcoverings for the interiors market.
