Cradle to Cradle Design Innovations

Albin Kaelin

View Abstract

Abstract Cradle to Cradle® Design implies a paradigm shift in industrial production. The design and innovation process move from the present linear thinking towards thinking in closed cycles. Materials and processes are chosen and used in a way that the resulting products become “nutrient” at the end of their life. The materials are either reintegrated into biological cycles or remain in technical cycles. Cradle to Cradle® Design does not allow waste and strides to keep resources in endless cycles. Sample products and projects will demonstrate the concrete application and results of the design process. Design for disassembly and avoidance of problematic substances allows for a new level of quality and safety during production and use and opens new opportunities for material reuse. This can be combined with system and business models that leave the ownership with the producer. This guarantees take back and maximal reuse of resources. The radical rethinking of design and production can go even beyond towards regenerative design. Production processes are designed according to the model of nature. No waste, no surrender, no restrictions. The right materials at the right place at the right time, in endless cycles is the key. Case studies will cover: - Innovations drive change, e.g biodegradable polymers, flexible packaging - Changes from passive to active business approach - Business management systems + certification integration - Dissemination, scaling up - Creating demand, the pull effect - Redesign from downcycling to upcycling - Circular Accounting by epeaswitzerland™ - EU Taxonomy, Digital Product Passport Compass Cradle to Cradle™ As a partner of industry in the role as knowledge and innovation trustee, epeaswitzerland has been able to implement and celebrate numerous breakthroughs of concrete innovations with industry in recent years: solutions to global problems of "microfibers", "bottles in the ocean", " toxic and non-recyclable packaging "have been created, such as biodegradable elastomers and polymers, reactive dyes or printing inks for packaging. These have been applied in areas such as flexible packaging, beverage bottles, parquet floors, luxury products, mattresses, workwear and outdoor textiles.

Welcome Note from the Organizing Committee:

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2nd International Conference on Materials Science & Engineering, scheduled for April 16–17, 2026, in London, United Kingdom.

This distinguished event serves as a dynamic platform for scientists, researchers, academicians, engineers, and industry professionals from around the world to share insights, exchange ideas, and explore the latest innovations and challenges in the ever-evolving field of materials science and engineering.

Building upon the success of the first edition, this year’s conference continues to focus on the transformative potential of advanced materials in driving technological progress, sustainability, and industrial innovation. Through an engaging program of keynote lectures, oral and poster sessions, and interactive discussions, participants will gain exposure to groundbreaking research and emerging applications across diverse sectors — from nanomaterials and biomaterials to energy systems and smart manufacturing.

We are confident that Materials Science 2026 will inspire stimulating discussions, foster meaningful collaborations, and provide new perspectives that will shape the future of materials research and engineering.

Beyond the scientific sessions, attendees will also have the opportunity to experience London’s rich heritage, vibrant culture, and spirit of innovation, making this conference both professionally rewarding and personally memorable.

We look forward to welcoming you to London for an enriching and inspiring experience.

Warm regards,

Prof. Omid Akbarzadeh
