As a radical approach to life-cycle assessment, Cradle to Cradle was brought forward with the book of the same name by McDonough & Braungart in 2010. It takes nature as a model for product development and suggests the development of closed-loop industrial cycles of biological and technical nutrients, without downcycling them. Cradle to Cradle approach heavily influenced the development of the Circular Economy concept, especially visible in the Butterfly Diagram.
