This paper provides a comparative analysis of the “Cradle to Grave” concept, which represents a linear product
life cycle approach, and the “Cradle to Cradle” concept, an innovative model within the circular economy framework.
The study examines their philosophical foundations, approaches to resource use, waste management principles, design
strategies, innovation potential, and alignment with sustainable development goals. The findings indicate that while the
“Cradle to Grave” model focuses on minimizing negative environmental impacts, the “Cradle to Cradle” concept aims to
create regenerative systems where waste is eliminated and materials continuously circulate within closed-loop systems
