Peer Reviewed: Applying the Principles of Green Engineering to Cradle-to-Cradle Design
Abstract
The natural world is the ultimate model, but it doesn't come with instructions on how humans can imitate it. William McDonough and Michael Braungart of McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry, Paul T. Anastas at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Julie B. Zimmerman at the U.S. EPA explain how the cradle-to-cradle vision sets a course for "What do I do" and how the 12 Principles of Green Engineering answer "How do I do it?".

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
