Our daily ambition is high-quality products, safe for human health and the environment, that can be reused in the bio- and technosphere.
Let's be beneficial instead of being less bad.
Cradle to Cradle
If we don't use healthy input materials, the Circular Economy will stand for a recyling of products designed for the junkyard.
That's why we offer scientific solutions for current and future challenges.

Applying the Cradle to Cradle® design concept (C2C) leads to textile products that are healthy in a chemically defined way. Decisions regarding material and design are made aiming at additional benefits of the products by either becoming biological or technical nutrients after use.
Our aim is to design buildings like trees and cities like forests. The Cradle to Cradle design concept drives the design of the built environment toward a beneficial footprint that goes beyond sustainability. In this sense, the projects seek effectiveness instead of efficiency-which only means reducing the bad impacts on the occupants and the environment.
Printed paper is in our packaging, publications and offices. However, printing substances used with paper can affect food quality and recyclability. EPEA, with support from the DOEN Foundation, launched a 
To companies and customers the packaging of a product can be a “black box”. Do you know how many differents chemicals a yoghurt cup can contain? Our ambition are compostable and recyclable packagings for the food and consumer packaging industries that are safe for people and healthy for the planet.
Cosmetics have to be made for skin contact, still companies use various ingredients in their products which are not safe for human health or the environment. C2C Cosmetics are fully made out of biological ingredients, are designed for the biosphere and are therefor beneficial to the environment.References
