Michael Braungart is a chemist and widely known for his work with the cradle-to-cradle design concept, which he developed together with American architect William McDonough. Michael Braungart is also a professor at the Leuphana University L\u00fcneburg in Germany.<\/p>\n
As founder of EPEA Internationale Umweltforschung GmbH and co-founder of Mc-Donough Braungart Design Chemistry he has pushed forward the implementation of cradle-to-cradle by promoting innovation, positivity and quality in product design. Michael Braungart also co-founded the Hamburger Umweltinstitut (HUI), a non-profit scientific research institute focusing on environmental solutions.<\/p>\n
Braungart is co-author with McDonough of the ‘Hannover Principles of Design: Design for Sustainability’, which served as development guidelines for the World’s Fair in Hannover in 2000. In 2002, they also co-authored ‘Cradle-to-cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Thing’. Building on that, ‘The Next Industrial Revolution: The Cradle-to-Cradle-Community’ was published in 2008.<\/p>\n
For his scientific achievements Michael Braungart has received a number of (international) awards. Michael Braungart has worked with a number of organizations and companies across a range of industries, and has developed tools for designing eco-effective products, business systems and intelligent materials pooling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
