Our
positive impact

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.

 

Our commitment contributes to making the ceramics industry a closed production cycle, using energy sources and raw materials with greater awareness, favouring circular use of materials, recycling packaging and recovering waste and scraps.

Energy

A key part of environmental sustainability is correct use of resources. By optimising consumption and recirculating the energy produced by our plants, we reduce our environmental impact.

Emissions
Thanks to the use of low emissions inks, we are able to ensure the air is kept healthy during production without increasing CO2 emissions. Our process emissions pass through flues equipped with filters which capture pollutants before they are released into the atmosphere.

Sustainability? It’s planned in the supply chain

Companies derive about 90% of their carbon footprint from the things they buy, meaning from the supply chain. We’re facing a revolutionary change in approach, with sustainability being generated in the supply chain. This new strategy also involves training and communication, fundamental for engagement with businesses’ internal and external stakeholders. We discussed this with Federico Brugnoli, founder and CEO of sustainability consulting company on Spin 360, which is assisting Marazzi in an in-house training programme.

Getting back in tune with our environment

“I believe we need to start by getting back into tune with nature, the climate and the landscape, and to rethink our entire supply chain.” This is the idea of Mario Cucinella, founder and creative director of Mario Cucinella Architects, whose piece for The Open Circle underlines the need to restore our dialogue with nature. The process will involve both the rediscovery of traditional knowledge and the development of new skills, involving the use of more intelligent, hybrid materials, a large proportion of them of natural origin and with lower environmental impact.
