从摇篮到摇篮认证辅导|不断持续对产品进行改进促进可持续发展

PRODUCT QUALITY REDEFINED

产品质量定义

Based on the groundbreaking book ‘Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things’ by William McDonough and Michael Braungart, the Cradle to Cradle Certified™ Product Standard guides designers and manufacturers through a continual improvement process - from BASIC to PLATINUM level - to aim for products that do more good instead of merely being less bad.

根据开创性的书《从摇篮到摇篮》:由William McDonough和Michael Braungart所著的“重塑我们制造事物的方式”，从摇篮到摇篮认证™产品标准指导设计师和制造商通过一个持续改进的过程-从铜级级到白金级-目标是生产出更多的好产品，而不仅仅是减少坏产品。

Quality is defined by five criteria categories:

质量由五个标准类别定义:

MATERIAL HEALTH 材料的健康

Product ingredients are inventoried throughout the supply chain and evaluated for impact on human and environmental health. The criteria at each level build towards the expectation of eliminating all toxic and unidentified chemicals and becoming nutrients for a safe, continuous cycle.

在整个供应链中清点产品成分，并评估其对人类和环境健康的影响。每一层的标准都是为了消除所有有毒和未识别的化学品，成为安全、连续循环的营养素。

MATERIAL REUTILIZATION 材料二次利用

Products are designed either to biodegrade safely as a biological nutrient or to be recycled into new products as a technical nutrient. At each level continued progress must be made towards increasing the recovery of materials and keeping them in continuous cycles.

产品要么作为一种生物营养素被安全地生物降解，要么作为一种技术营养素被回收成新产品。在每一层面上都必须不断取得进展，以提高材料的回收率，并使其保持在连续的循环中。

RENEWABLE ENERGY AND CARBON MANAGEMENT 可再生能源和碳管理

The criteria at each level build towards powering all operations with 100% renewable energy possible carbon emissions being compensated, thus making the production climate positive.

每个级别的标准都是为所有运营提供100%的可再生能源，可能的碳排放得到补偿，从而使生产环境变得积极。

WATER STEWARDSHIP 水的管理

Processes are designed to regard water as a precious resource for all living things. At each level, progress is made towards cleaning up effluent to drinking water standards.

设计过程是为了将水视为所有生物的宝贵资源。在每一级，在将污水净化到符合饮用水标准方面都取得了进展。

SOCIAL FAIRNESS 社会公平

Company operations are designed to celebrate all people and natural systems and progress is made towards having an overall beneficial impact on the people and the planet.

公司的运作旨在庆祝所有人和自然系统，并取得进步，对人类和地球产生全面的有益影响。

FIVE LEVELS OF PRODUCT CERTIFICATION 产品认证的五个级别

Depending on the assessment in the separate categories, a product can be certified at Basic, Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum level. The product receives a certification level for each category. The lowest certification level that has been achieved defines the overall certificate level of the product. The certification must be renewed every two years. During the re-certification process, particular attention is paid to whether the strategies for optimizing/retiring materials or substances from the previous certification process are being implemented and whether the company is pursuing strategies in the area of renewable energy, social aspects and water issues. An example of a Cradle to Cradle scorecard showing the five categories and corresponding certification levels can be seen below.

根据不同类别的评估，产品可以被认证为基础级、青铜级、银级、金级或白金级。产品将获得每个类别的认证级别。已达到的最低认证级别定义了产品的整体认证级别。认证必须每两年更新一次。在重新认证过程中，特别关注的是是否正在实施优化/淘汰材料或以前认证过程中的物质的战略，以及公司是否在可再生能源、社会方面和水问题领域实施战略。
