The document discusses the Cradle to Cradle design paradigm. It provides examples of companies in various countries applying Cradle to Cradle principles to their products and buildings. These include using only safe and healthy materials, designing products for disassembly and closed-loop recycling or composting at the end of their use. The goal is to mimic natural systems where waste from one process becomes food for another.

Product stewardship bill (AB 283), FEBRUARY 12, 2009 : This bill would create the California Product Stewardship Act of 2010 and would require the board to administer the program. The bill would require the board to adopt regulations by July 1, 2011, in order to implement the program to provide environmentally sound product stewardship protocols that encourage producers to research alternatives during the product design and packaging phases to foster cradle-to-cradle producer responsibility and reduce the end-of-life environmental impacts of the product.
