We certify what matters: Products that are good for people and the planet. The Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the circular economy. Through the Cradle to Cradle Certified® Products Program, the Institute sets the global standard for circular product design, driving the transition to a circular economy where every material and product positively impacts both people and the planet.

To date, thousands of products have been certified across various categories, including building materials, textiles, apparel, footwear, cosmetics, personal care, electronics, print, and packaging. We are an official environmental partner of 1% for the Planet. The Institute operates globally and is headquartered in San Francisco, California and in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
