For more than 40 years, I have been immersed in one question:
What does it truly mean for humanity — and for business — to sustain life?
Not metaphorically.
Not symbolically.
Not as a branding exercise.
But literally:
How do we sustain the conditions that allow life — all life — to continue?
This question led me from early corporate sustainability in the 1990s…
to 17 years working alongside William McDonough and Michael Braungart…
to starting and leading high-impact institutions like the GreenBlue Institute's Sustainable Packaging Coalition…
to shaping the early Cradle to Cradle certification program…
to speaking across the Americas, Europe, and the Caribbean…
to advising governments, universities, Fortune 500 companies, and entrepreneurs…
to writing Real Circularity™…
and ultimately to defining a new concept:
The integration of sustainability (in its original meaning) with the true circularity of Nature — to sustain the conditions for life on Earth, forever.
Circularity Edge is the platform where this philosophy becomes practical, actionable, and transformative for business.
The world is still dominated by:
These approaches cannot address:
They also fail to recognize a growing existential threat:
The systematic destruction of the conditions required for life — including the life of your business — to continue.
Most organizations can’t see Vitacide Risk™ because they assess their world using linear tools in a non-linear environment.
Circularity Edge helps leaders see what others miss.
The leader’s responsibility — and privilege — is to sustain the conditions that support life. This is not ideology; it is operational reality.
Language creates decisions.
Decisions shape systems.
We restore the true meaning of critical terms like “sustainability,” “cycle,” “carbon,” and “life.”
A system must match the dimensionality of the world it seeks to influence. Nature is 3D. Business is 3D. Your sustainability model must be 3D.
Not as metaphor —
but as the blueprint for regenerative economic design.

A systems architecture that mirrors the cycles, logic, and regenerative patterns of living systems.

A 3D decision model that exposes blind spots, illuminates contradiction, and reveals the geometry of coherence inside any business.

The hidden threat that most companies are accelerating without realizing it — and the diagnostic lens we use to identify and prevent systemic breakdown. .

A crucial shift beyond “decarbonization.”
Carbon is not the enemy; incoherent carbon is.
We identify how to restore carbon to its proper forms and places.

Living things have life cycles.
Products, materials, and human-made systems have use cycles.
This semantic correction changes design, policy, strategy, and innovation.
We help leaders:
We do this through:
Everything we do is grounded in Nature’s operating system — translated into business reality.
