Cradle to Cradle Certified

RainTube® is one of only eleven companies worldwide to achieve a Cradle to Cradle Gold Tier Certification. We are the only eco-friendly gutter protection and rain catchment product and we are proud members of the U.S Green Building Council. We have won the following awards for our sustainability work:

  • The End of Product Life Award
  • The Installation, Use and Maintenance Award

Rain Technologies™ is very proud to have achieved a rare Gold Tier Cradle To Cradle Certification from McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC). Cradle to Cradle Design is a fundamental shift away from the flawed philosophy of the Industrial Revolution. Instead of designing products based on the “take-make-waste” model of the last century ('cradle to grave'), Cradle to Cradle Design is powering the next Industrial Revolution, in which products and services are designed based on patterns found in nature, eliminating waste entirely and creating an abundance that is healthy and sustaining.

Cradle to Cradle is the most important measurement standard for hyper-green products and companies. It places Rain Technologies and RainTube® in an undisputed leadership position at the highest echelons of the environmental products industry.
