designing cradle-to-cradle

In honor of Earth Day, a question: for any of you in [product] design, who generate physical things as a result of your work, have you ever designed anything to be cradle-to-cradle?

On another note, I've posted three times in two days! That's got to be some sort of record or something. I'll take a cookie for that.
