From additives to the materials themselves: Last year the Cradle to Cradle Certified™ Products Program gave unprecedented recognition to two products that are raising the bar for building materials. The Bark House® poplar shingle and wall panel from Highland Craftsmen Inc. became the first product to meet the Platinum requirements across all five Cradle to Cradle certification categories: material health, material reutilization, renewable energy and carbon management, water stewardship, and social fairness.
