Abstract

The environment is an integrated building that includes many elements that interact with each other according to a balanced system, and upon looking into this environment and its limited resources and the pollution to which it is exposed, we find that the world has set its sights on searching for alternatives that reduce the depletion of nature and energy consumption while creating new resources, and from them the concepts and applications concerned with developing recycling mechanisms to make optimal use of the waste of natural and industrial materials, and among these concepts is what is known as the concept of "Cradle to Cradle" which works on organizing the manufacturing process to prepare the product according to a system that can be recycled before starting to manufacture it, which in turn is in line with one of the most basic principles advocated by what is called (sustainability), which works to lay the foundations of the new environmental thought in a more profound and related way to nature, as well as achieving dependence on raw materials that do not negatively affect the environment through the possibility of recycling and reuse. Since the material is one of the elements of artistic creativity and design that has a great impact on highlighting the efficiency of the product, it was better for the designer to tend to the materials that contribute to preserving the environment and benefit from recycled products, which is what we are exposed to in the research through applying the concept of “Cradle to Cradle" in the framework of designing these products from the beginning to reach the possibility of recycling after the end of their cycle of use. Accordingly, the research is based on two axes, the first of which presents the concept of “the cradle to the cradle" and sheds light on the recycling process as the main axis of the concept of “Cradle to Cradle", and the second one presents the role of that concept in product design, especially the product made from recyclable materials.
