C2C Summit: Shaping the municipalities of the future
Vanja Schneider presented Moringa Hamburg HafenCity at the C2C Summit organized by the Cradle to Cradle NGO in Berlin on May 12, 2022
"Cradle to Cradle is an important building block for shaping our environment in a climate- and resource-friendly way. In times of material shortages, it becomes particularly obvious that we can no longer afford to throw away valuable materials and how important it is to recycle resources that have already been used through a closed-loop economy," said Sören Bartol, Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Housing, Urban Development and Construction, in his opening speech at the C2C NGO event on May 12, 2022, in Berlin.
The goal of the EU Commission and the German government to establish a closed-loop circular economy can only be achieved if the focus is equally on energy efficiency and climate and resource protection. The Cradle to Cradle principle provides the right approach to achieve the goals that have been set and to make a significant contribution to political visions at the municipal level.
During the event, various C2C-inspired buildings were presented, and Managing Director Vanja Schneider was invited to present our Moringa Hamburg HafenCity.
Under the guiding principle that, as part of the problem, we must also be part of the solution, the subsequent panel discussion featured an extensive exchange with Vanja Schneider ( Managing Director of Moringa GmbH and Cradle to Cradle expert), Sybille Mai (Berlin site manager at C2C consultancy EPEA GmbH – part of Drees & Sommer), Bernhard Reger ( Head of Communications and Marketing at Leipfinger-Bader Ziegelwerke), and Manuel Ehlers (Head of Sustainable Property at Triodos Bank). The essential and important points in the planning, financing, implementation, and demolition of C2C-inspired construction projects were highlighted.
