Cradle to Cradle. The future of consumer tech
Circular technologies are the future
At IFA 2025, Cradle to Cradle brings a forward-thinking programme packed with ideas, solutions and real-life applications. Discover how circular design is reshaping the consumer electronics industry and how it can solve ecological, economic and social challenges without compromise.
From bold keynote speakers and in-depth panel discussions to fast-paced microtalks and hands-on workshops, this programme highlights companies and pioneers driving real impact. Learn how healthy materials, renewable energy, closed water cycles and fair labour standards are coming together to create products that aren’t just “less bad” but actively good.
Cradle to Cradle is built on a positive view of humanity. We can design systems that are not just sustainable, but regenerative. Systems where waste becomes resource, and design starts with intention.
Join us in Hall 25 (booth 355) to explore the next chapter of consumer electronics. Experience how circular thinking changes everything and become part of the solution.
About Cradle to Cradle NGO
The donation-financed and non-profit Cradle to Cradle NGO has been committed to a sustainable circular economy since 2012. With educational work, networking and practical projects, it brings the Cradle to Cradle approach to business, politics and society. Its goal: a society in which products and processes are designed from the outset to be healthy and fair and their materials can circulate continuously. This is achieved through formats such as the recurring C2C Congress, the C2C LAB in Berlin and the Labor Tempelhof concert project with Die Ärzte, which received the special prize of the German Sustainability Award in 2024. in 2025, IFA Berlin is expanding its commitment to sustainability by entering into a partnership with Cradle to Cradle NGO.
