IN THE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

The constant search into the new opportunities technology creates, gives us the chance to make industrial production more compatible with the environment that surrounds us: this is our Green philosophy. Everyday, we strive towards the development of products which have a low environmental impact, able to create efficient sustainable building projects.

All Refin ceramic collections meet the standards of the prestigious Ecolabel European certification, which is an indication of environmental criteria for every single phase of product lifespan, from the selection of raw materials to the use of energy and water resources and the final disposal of the product.

The search for eco-compatible products has recently led to the creation of ceramic collections that are manufactured using precious raw materials and ceramic mixes using pre and post consumer recycled material, in line with the LEED rating system (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), in 2009 Refin was awarded the prestigious prize “Premio all’Innovazione Amica dell’Ambiente” sponsored by Legambiente.

 

What does it mean to produce Ecolabel certified tiles?

  1. Reducing the environmental impact in the extraction phase of raw materials.
  2. Save energy and recycle water during the production process.
  3. Reducing the release of polluting agents into the atmosphere.
  4. With a low release of polluting agents which are dangerous to mankind (for example lead and cadmium).
  5. Informing the consumers by means of the packaging and the explanatory materials relevant to the compliance of the product with Ecolabel certification standards.
  6. Giving suggestions and warnings for the use, maintenance and installation of the product.
  7. Creating a waste management system through the differentiated refuse collection and the recovery, if possible, of waste generated by the production process.
