Society currently operates via a one-way train of Extraction-Production-Consumption-Disposal. At the end of the line, products are thrown away, never to be used again (except to produce greenhouse gases). This is called “cradle-to-grave”.
A "cradle-to-cradle" mindset, then, redefines the end of one product's life as the beginning of a new one.
Because everything—whether old clothes in good condition, dinnerware, furniture, or even holey old socks—can be disposed of more responsibly than the dumpster.
