A Cradle to Cradle residence?

Yes, it's possible, and it's happening in the Netherlands.
First, a quick explanation of the cradle-to-cradle (or C2C) theory: it means from cradle to cradle. "Smart" consumption through the permanent reuse of materials and objects, a notion readily championed by the Cradle to Cradle philosophy.
Taking into account the entire life cycle of an item so that it is 100% biodegradable makes it possible to consume fewer raw materials, ensures that the end-of-life product becomes the raw material for another product, and also values waste as a source of creation and innovation (source)

Passive energy is obviously a must for this home, with organic insulation materials, triple-glazed windows…
The main material chosen for construction is wood; one could also see a little nod here, yes, wood evokes the principle of the cradle, but also because it’s beautiful and comfortable!

Electricity is produced by a wind turbine on the roof, which is an excellent idea for integrating wind turbines into the city… (it's a change from solar panels)

And then it's a smart house, it breathes. The rammed earth walls absorb heat during the day and release it again at night.

In fact, this house may not look like much, but the approach is truly extraordinary. Are there any initiatives of this kind in France?
