Eco-Conscious

Sustainable development goes beyond a mere priority for PORCELANOSA Group, leading us to implement eco-sustainable production processes and manufacture cutting-edge products with a clear objective: minimise the environmental impact.

These actions include: reducing air emissions, recycle generated waste and promote the equitable and controlled use of water resources. To meet the Sustainable Development Goals, the PORCELANOSA Group has created ECO CONSCIOUS, a management model that reinforces responsible production and consumption.

This initiative aims to transform basic raw materials into products that are more environmentally friendly. To achieve this, the brand has pledged to reuse waste generated during other manufacturing processes and to optimise energy resources.

In this sense, all PORCELANOSA Group companies (Porcelanosa, Venis, Gamadecor, Krion, L'Antic Colonial, Butech, Noken and Urbatek) demonstrate, day by day, their commitment to sustainability in each of their eco-sustainable products. This commitment is also present in the measures adopted to promote responsible energy consumption (ISO 50001), such as cogeneration or reducing our carbon footprint.

The Spanish Environmental Ministry has certified PORCELANOSA as having achieved a 20% drop in its carbon footprint (emitted kg of CO2/m² of manufactured products) over the last few years.

At PORCELANOSA, 33% of all consumed energy is internally generated by its cogeneration plant. What is more, the hot air generated by the plant is used to dry the slip and to obtain spray-dried powder for use in the tile pressing process. The Spanish National Energy Commission certifies the energy from PORCELANOSA’s high-efficiency cogeneration plant as being green energy.

Many of the products manufactured by PORCELANOSA have distinct ecological features. Flooring using over 95% recycled material, kitchen and bathroom worktops with KRION K·Life, which helps to purify the air, taps with aerators, double-flush system toilets, with which you can save up to 89% of water, and ventilated façade systems, which reduce air conditioning costs and allow you to save more than 30% on energy bills.
