Eu's miljøkommissær nævner Vugge til vugge i sin afsluttende tale ved green week

Potočnik's afsluttende tale ved green week 

Lidt om cradle to cradle også, her et par klip fra hans tale i fredags 

Using waste as a resource is another example. The worst options to deal with
waste– like land filling – are still too cheap. Many of you wanted economic
instruments to encourage more waste prevention and recycling, or adapted EU
financing, to stimulate it. And we heard about the 'cradle to cradle' approach, which
takes the use of waste as a resource to an entirely new level. 

Subsides and taxation systems will need to be looked at in detail. Resource efficient
companies – underpinned by new and green innovative business models - need to
be encouraged and rewarded, not hampered. And industries need to be able to talk
to each other, for example to ensure that one company's waste becomes another's
resource. 

There are many innovative business models out there that found a way to
use resources efficiently and minimise impacts on the environment – and make
money too. Industrial symbiosis, product service systems and cradle-to-cradle need
to become widespread. 

We also need to help companies to analyse and improve their environmental
footprints. Not just a few interested companies, but most of them. These things will
have to become standard practice by 2020.
