Did you know that Italian ceramic tile producers are committed to reducing consumption and wastage of natural resources?
99.5% of fired and unfired production waste is reused for ceramic body preparation.
This enables Italian ceramic tile producers to save 600,000 tonnes of virgin raw materials each year.
Not even a single drop of water is wasted in Italian ceramic tile factories.
More than 99% of wastewater is reused, reducing the consumption of groundwater.
3 million litres of water was saved in 2020 alone.
At the end of their life cycle, Italian ceramic tiles can be crushed and used for new applications such as aggregate for concrete or combined with bitumen in road construction.
