How long the application process takes depends on multiple factors and a precise indication is not possible. The scope and quality of the submitted documents play a role, so do the situational capacities of the HUI.
The Library does not provide extensive consultation for the planning and building of projects. However, we are happy to answer your questions, so feel free to contact us! For further information and inspiration you can find documents in the Support section and you can view the projects presented here.
No, it is not. The Library is a complementary step beyond certifications and must be communicated accordingly. A more detailed guide for the communication can be found above.
There is no minimum number of required elements. The most important thing is a genuine devotion to the Cradle to Cradle design principles and the ability of your project to inspire others.
