C2C Network – A Journey from Cradle to Cradle. C2C network Initiatives Guide

This handbook can best be seen as a catalogue of C2C related practices that are being planned and/ or happening in Europe. After this introductory chapter, case fiches are filed, presenting each good practice case in a short and flexible way in chapter 2. Thanks to great Italian design the lay-out generally portrays 2 cases per page offering the reader at a glance the country where the case comes from and usually also a picture illustrating the product, building, or area, or the people involved in the organisation or their logo. Furthermore the reader can quickly scan the essentials of a particular case: the title, the project partner for the region the case comes from, an indication of the thematic target area to which the case primarily belongs, a short description of the case, the Limburg principles to which the case relates, certification details, and contact information.

In chapter 3 an overview of all cases is listed, with the cases grouped by the Limburg principle to which they are faithful.

or more details the reader is referred to the contact details or a relevant website so that more in depth study becomes possible. The aim is then to link whoever who is interested in the specific area of work in which the presented case is operating to the case owners for further information and exchange.
We also refer the reader of this handbook to the four thematic perspective studies, in which several of the cases are presented and analysed in some more detail, illustrating the importance of a case for the development of the target area at hand, while at the same time offering the broader picture of that target area against which a particular case can be positioned.
