Excerpt from Article:
The long-anticipated third version of the Cradle to Cradle (C2C) green product standard will add a new certification level and make energy and water requirements more stringent—at the same time loosening ingredient disclosure requirements—for entry-level certification. Control of the standard has also been transferred to the nonprofit Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute (C2CPII), which announced the changes at a November 14 press conference at Greenbuild 2012 in San Francisco.
