The Cradle to Cradle concept has been widely embraced and promoted by the Dutch government. The Dutch government understands the challenge that creating a sustainable future presents, and in order to promote innovation in industries, has incorporated the Cradle to Cradle concept into national strategies for sustainable development and resource management. The Dutch government has assigned specialists to promote Cradle to Cradle strategies in sustainable architecture and planning, product design, and the administration sectors. In addition, the Dutch government has brought Cradle to Cradle products into their sustainable purchasing plan and incorporated the Cradle to Cradle concept into the construction of governmental buildings.

Cradle to Cradle has made a significant impact in the Netherlands. Enterprises, academics, research, and NGOs have all begun related research, discussion and practices. Active Cradle to Cradle networks and activities are leading Dutch people towards a sustainable future.
