During last September, Greengaged '08 was pleased to unveil the exclusive news of Professor Michael Braungart's revised introduction to the UK edition of ‘Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things’. We were then lucky enough, on Monday 22nd September, to have Braungart close the penultimate day of Greengaged '08, with a lecture at London's Royal Society of Arts, where he discussed material assessments, waste and energy balances, and life-cycle design.
