SYNOPSIS 内容

The webinar week introduces Cradle to Cradle design as a quality and innovation framework for the transformation towards a circular economy. In Europe, Cradle to Cradle design has been implemented by companies, municipalities and governments. Goal of this first-of-its-kind webinar week is to share knowhow and expertise based on practical examples, and discuss with participants how it could be transferred, especially to China.

The webinars are geared towards people from academic research and teaching (e. g. students, teachers, researchers), people from business practice, and policy makers, whose professional activities involve design, product development, building and architecture, sustainability, corporate social responsibility (CSR), education for sustainable development (ESD) and/or circular economy.

On day 1 (22 June 2020), renowned Cradle to Cradle expert Katja Hansen will introduce the Cradle to Cradle design framework and inspire participants by painting the big picture of a Cradle to Cradle economy. She will share insights and examples drawing from more than three decades experience.

On day 2 (23 June 2020), themed webinars by experienced Cradle to Cradle practitioners will explain the Cradle to Cradle design framework in detail and focus on different areas of application, including the built environment; paper, printing and packaging sector; and textiles. Further webinars will cover plastics, waste management and education for sustainable development. Participants may choose to attend one or more themed webinars according to their interests and field of work or study.

On day 3 (28 June 2020), we offer an Online Tea Time that provides an open space for all participants who want to meet and get to know each other in an informal way. The “coffee break”-like setting on this day will include a check-in, introduction of participants, group talks, a Cradle to Cradle design challenge, and a check-out. Together we will talk about what Cradle to Cradle might have to do with Chinese philosophy and Chinese tradition and deepen our insights from day 1 and 2.

On day 4 (29 June 2020), we bring together a number of renowned experts in our Panel Discussion “Powering the Circular Economy in China” to discuss from different perspectives the future of circular economy in China and how Cradle to Cradle design could be a part of it. What challenges and opportunities exist? How could a future cooperation look like and how could the different actors contribute to this cooperation?

In the evening we will offer one last themed webinar on Cradle to Cradle implementation and the different possibilities for businesses to move on and transform the way we make and use things into something beneficial, for humans, nature, and economy.

All participants will receive useful information, links and contacts afterwards.

From Waste Management to Circular Economy – The Pathway Forward

垃圾管理迈向循环经济

Dr. LIU Xiao and ZHOU Ying

What is waste management and why is it important? How do we realize a systematic and integrated waste management? What can we do to minimize plastic pollution along the whole life cycle of plastic products? And how is it related to circular economy? Targeting at the mentioned questions and centering upon the essence of “Cradle to Cradle”, this webinar will brief the policy evolvement as well as showcase best practices (BEP) regarding to both municipal waste management and the reuse and recycle of plastics (R-Plastic) to explore a sustainable and feasible pathway for China to develop circular economy.

什么是垃圾管理？为什么我们这么重视这个问题？如何实现系统化的垃圾综合管理？如何从塑料产品的全生命周期的角度实现塑料污染的最小化？这与循环经济又有什么关系呢？聚焦在这些问题上，围绕“摇篮到摇篮”的本质，本环节将针对固废管理和塑料循环，梳理政策以及展示最佳实践，以在中国探索可持续的且可行的路径，实现循环经济。

02:00 – 03:00 PM (China Standard Time)

C2C for Buildings – Healthy, Circular, and Retaining Value

Richard Schmude

Cradle to Cradle in the building sector eliminates toxic substances from the construction and decoration materials, which tackles the root cause for indoor pollution leading to user health risks. Buildings designed along the C2C principles and using C2C materials will have a higher value at the end of their life time, which can also open the door for complete new business models.

03:00 – 05:00 PM (China Standard Time)
