New version of the standard
Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute has launched version 4.1 of the Cradle to Cradle Certified Product Standard. Troldtekt expects to be recertified according to this version in the first half of 2025. During a transition period, Troldtekt has chosen to certify three of the five categories according to version 4.0, while the other two categories continue to be certified according to version 3.1.
Categories with certification according to version 4.0:
- Material Health
- Clean Air & Climate Protection
- Water & Soil Stewardship
Categories with certification according to version 3.1:
- Material Reutilisation
- Social Fairness
The new standard sets out significantly higher requirements for all five categories. Instead of sticking to the previous version of the standard for as long as possible, Troldtekt elected to take the first big leap with three of its categories. Between now and the next recertification in 2025, we will work to meet the many new requirements in the last two categories.
