For everybody who is interested, I keep a Cradle To Cradle Chronology here: http://www.c2c-chronology.com

It is a very comprehensive list of sources, publications, articles, videos, podcasts, interviews, events and milestones on the Cradle To Cradle subject. All nicely ordered in a chronological manner.

Cheers.

Stahel has from the beginning emphasized the importance of the holistic approach and the economic, ecologic and social advantages of the loop economy:
-The substantial economic differences between reusing goods and components versus recycling molecules,
-The axiom of the smallest loop (re-use) as the most profitable one, which has to be considered in defining sustainable corporate strategies,
-The necessity to close the liability loop in addition to the physical loops, especially in legislation and policy making,
-The link between energy/resources savings and job creation in a loop economy – substituting manpower for energy.

But never forget the fact that strategies outside the c2c thinking, such as sufficiency, can be substantially more sustainable than c2c solutions, and encompass all types of goods, not only durable ones.
