For several years now, the Italian ceramic tile industry has been adopting a green supply chain to improve the efficiency of its industrial processes and the sustainability of its products.
The first step is to use naturally abundant raw materials.
By reusing wastewater and unfired and fired waste, companies in the industry reduce their consumption of natural resources by 10%.
All packaging used in warehouses and storage centres is made of 100% recyclable and compostable materials.
The use of rail transport for incoming and outgoing goods helps to reduce atmospheric CO2 emissions.
By adopting a green management model, the Italian ceramic tile industry reduces environmental and economic risks and creates value for stakeholders and the market.
