World leader in ceramic and porcelain for floor & wall tiles
CERAMICS AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDING
The excellence of our products and our entire production cycle is due to an environmental sustainability policy built up over time. We are the mouthpiece for an industry able to limit consumption of natural resources and environmental impact, through the restoration of quarries’ landscape and vegetation, controlled waste management and the recycling of industrial wastewater.
Reducing emissions is one of the most important environmental challenges. We have adopted various solutions to reduce our emissions: from reusing process water, including that from other companies, to flues fitted with pollution filters, to using low-emission products throughout the entire production process.
Thanks to the use of low emission ink, we are able to ensure the air is kept healthy during production without increasing CO2 emissions.
Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
The Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), conducted in accordance with ISO 14025 and EN 15804, documents the consumption of resources (materials, water, energy) and impacts on the surrounding environment throughout the lifecycle of a product, from the mining and processing of the raw materials through to processing/disposal/recycling of the demolition products. Our Casiglie, Ubersetto, Sassuolo, Finale Emilia and Fiorano Modenese sites publish the EPD for the tiles produced there.
High Recycled Material Content
We have created new solutions to combine ever-greater quantities of recycled material with the raw materials used, without affecting quality. Most of our product lines are now manufactured using between 30% and 40% recycled material. The use of recycled materials in every production process reduces the use and transportation of virgin raw materials, limits the production of waste and plays an active role in earning LEED® credits in the Materials and Resources category.
