  1. ^ The consulting firm that he runs and/or works for, Product-Life.ORG, states that "Journalists have raised the question when Stahel had used the term “cradle to cradle” for the first time. The precise date in the 1980s is difficult to find as Stahel works and teaches in German, French and English, and promoted his ideas through many publications, such as books, journals and newspaper articles, but also numerous workshops, conference papers and seminars in all three languages. Max Börlin, his co-director at that time, also worked in Italian."
