In 2009, MBDC certified more than 100 products, bringing the total number of products certified to more 300 since the program launched in late 2005. In 2009, 14 products achieved Gold-level certification, Cradle to Cradle’s second highest level of achievement. The program has four achievement levels: Basic, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
At the Gold level, product manufacturers have eliminated chemicals assessed by MBDC to be a high hazard to human and environmental health, and final assembly processes must be powered by 50 percent renewable energy. In 2009, manufacturers of the 47 Gold-certified products committed to using more than 8,500 MWh of renewable energy, the equivalent of powering 760 US homes for a year.
