Natural raw materials
More than 90% of the raw materials that make up the Coverlam pieces are Of natural origin, prioritizing among those subjects proximity and minimizing imports for avoid CO2 emissions in transportation.
It is also ensured that these raw materials come from sustainable mines and of the highest quality, free of impurities. In addition, the compounds used in its production are high percentages of recycled material.
Coverlam lacks completely of any trace of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). During its use, no VOCs will be emitted under any conditions.
The Consumption of raw materials quarry, in thicknesses of 3.5 and 5.6 mm It is 2 to 3 times lower. to the consumption that occurs with any type of similar product of conventional thickness. Thanks to its thickness and reduced weight Optimizing square meters per trip, which Helps reduce CO2 and NOx emissions.
Advantages
At COVERLAM, we are committed to the environment. From the selection of raw materials to the manufacturing of our ceramic products, we prioritise sustainability and eco-efficiency. We constantly work to reduce our environmental impact and promote responsible practices throughout our supply chain. Together, we build a greener and more sustainable future.
01. ZERO WASTE
All the water used in the manufacturing process is recycled internally and reused in the production facilities, while guaranteeing that no elements that could impact the environment are discharged.
02. LOW PERCENTAGE OF RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA
Thanks to technological advances, Coverlam has managed to reduce the amount of silica in the composition of its tiles, without diminishing their performance. The silica content in Coverlam Top countertops is currently less than 11%. in Coverlam Top countertops is currently less than 11%.
03. H&Cslabs
The application of the H&CTiles treatment to Coverlam offers major environmental benefits. When used outdoors it helps to reduce environmental pollution and endows the tile with the ability to self-clean, while for indoor use it provides antibacterial properties
04. SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE
Given its concern about sustainable architecture, Coverlam contributes to improving the energy efficiency of buildings by incorporating the new LEED standards throughout the life cycle of its products, from the design phase to final installation.In addition, it provides the documents needed to confirm compliance with the requirements of the sustainability assessment system in construction projects (BREEAM®).
05. ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Coverlam has a strategic plan for the use of energy. Thanks to this approach, there has been a gradual reduction in the amount of energy consumed, and the necessary actions are being taken to continue cutting energy consumption. All this is achieved, among other practices, thanks to a Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) system, an Integrated Energy Management System and more efficient machinery that consumes less energy.
