Cradle to Cradle Sustainability

What is Sustainability?
When we talk about sustainability we are looking at the efficient uses of resources, and the techniques to go about replacing and replenishing those resources. Both short-term and long-term sustainability are critical to businesses and our environment. The easiest way to remember the factors that are considered regarding sustainability are the 3 P’s: People, Planet, and Profitability – People and Planet being the most important out of the three, of course.

Cradle-to-Grave (C2G) Sustainability
Cradle-to-Grave (C2G) Sustainability has been a historic method of sustainability for years, and is an example of a linear economy model of sustainability. This type of sustainability involves using resources for their purpose, and then disposing of them as waste. However, this process has made resources scarce, and has had a negative impact on our environment.

Cradle-to-Cradle (C2C) Sustainability
Cradle-to-Cradle (C2C) Sustainability is a much more proactive method and supports a circular economy’s model. This utilizes resources to their fullest extent, and has much less of an impact on the economy. It can also be more profitable for businesses that are able to develop this method sustainability for their products and practices.

At USAGrowShop.com we do our best work with companies that utilize a C2C sustainability process. The Eazy Plug System, for example, is an incredible product that utilizes sustainability to create growing mediums that are 100% compostable and provide a near perfect balance of pH, EC, and air-to-water ratio for your plants. These products can be tossed in the soil after use without leaving a footprint. Learn more here.

Using products that have high sustainability helps us to get more out of the products we use, and do our part in keeping our planet clean.
