Material ConneXion MBDC and EPEA Announce Strategic Collaboration
Material ConneXion, McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC) and the Environmental Protection Encouragement Agency (EPEA) announced today a groundbreaking strategic collaboration to create a global platform for developing innovative sustainable materials and products.

Together, they will provide services that will help companies expand their ability to innovate and create higher quality, more sustainable products and processes, while increasing their profitability.

"Material ConneXion's unparalleled material expertise, commitment to sustainability, and global reach make them the perfect partner for this collaboration," said MBDC co-founder William McDonough.

The relationship will help to promote and disseminate Cradle to CradleSM design principles by providing greater global access to Cradle to Cradle material information, certification and product development.

As of January 2008, Material ConneXion's libraries in New York, Milan, Cologne and Bangkok will feature Cradle to Cradle Assessed and Certified materials, and, in collaboration with MBDC and EPEA, Material ConneXion will offer Cradle to Cradle Certification, and Cradle to Cradle product development.
