Twenty-six of the new certifications were to companies new to Cradle to Cradle. At the end of 2015, certifications under the Built Environment category totaled 268, representing about 1,630 product variations sold by 129 companies. The number of all Cradle to Cradle Certified products currently stands at more than 2,800.<\/p>\n<p>Among the products earning certification under the multi-attribute standard were <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shawcontractgroup.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shaw EcoWorx<\/a> Tile Carpets (Silver), W.F. Taylor\u2019s line of flooring adhesives (Gold), and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.steelcase.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Steelcase<\/a>\u2019s B-Free Seating (Bronze).<\/p>\n<p>Another significant milestone in 2015 was the launch of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.c2ccertified.org\/material-health-certificate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cradle to Cradle Material Health Certificate<\/a>, a stand-alone certification option based on the Material Health section of the full Cradle to Cradle program. The Material Health attribute provides manufacturers with a trusted way to communicate their work toward chemically optimized products and assists specifiers and consumers in knowing about the chemicals in products and supply chains, and avoiding chemicals of concern. Since introduction of the MHC, Cradle to Cradle has issued 33 Material Health stand-alone certificates. Products earning Material Health Certificates include <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gaf.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GAF<\/a>\u2019s EverGuard Extreme TPO Roofing Membrane (Silver), <a href=\"https:\/\/w.owenscorning.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Owens Corning<\/a>\u2019s PB Binder Unfaced Ceiling Board (Gold), and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tkelevator.com\/us-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ThyssenKrupp Elevator<\/a> BioBlend Enviromax 2.0 Biodegradable Elevator Hydraulic Oil (Platinum).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArchitects, builders and developers can\u2019t also be chemists; they can\u2019t be expected to know and understand every single ingredient in a product, much less the potential hazards those ingredients might pose,\u201d says Stacy Glass, vice president, Built Environment for the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute. \u201cThe Material Health Certificate offers an \u2018easy button\u2019\u2014providing buyers with a clearer picture into the health and safety of the contents of their homes and buildings.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute continued its era of growth throughout 2015, notching hundreds of certified products and launching a stand-alone certification devoted to Material Health.
