About

The Cradle to Cradle concept is centered on the idea of nutrient management for sustainability, and through that stimulating economic development and promoting social welfare.
To achieve this, support and commitment from civil authorities and all types of enterprises are essential. Cooperation and frequent interactions between industries and academia can improve research results and promote the Eco-effectiveness of new technologies. Thus this platform (composed of commercial enterprises, civil authorities and academia) has been developed as a place to share experiences, to stimulate business innovation, and to implement the Cradle to Cradle concept in Taiwan.
