How Our Suppliers Are Redefining Tile Production
At Italia Ceramics, sustainability is more than an approach; it’s a core value that informs how we choose our products, our processes, and our partners. As expectations grow for more responsible design and construction practices, we believe it’s important to highlight how the tile industry is responding, starting at the source.
Our long-standing partnerships with suppliers such as Marazzi, Italgraniti, EnergieKer, and Ceramica Sant’Agostino are built not only on quality and innovation, but also on a shared commitment to environmentally responsible production. Here’s how these manufacturers are contributing to a more sustainable future in tile.
Marazzi: Investing in Circular Production
Marazzi is recognised for its integrated approach to sustainable manufacturing. Many of its collections are produced with a significant percentage of recycled content, in some cases up to 40%. The company has implemented closed-loop systems to reduce waste and reintroduce raw materials back into the production cycle. Its facilities also prioritise water conservation and air purification, reinforcing a responsible approach at every stage of the process.
Italgraniti: Certifications That Reflect Responsibility
Italgraniti demonstrates environmental care through certified systems and transparent practices. Many of its tiles meet LEED and Ecolabel standards, making them suitable for projects focused on sustainability benchmarks. The company also uses advanced technologies to reduce emissions and energy consumption, while adopting water recycling and waste recovery strategies across its operations.
EnergieKer: Modernising with Efficiency in Mind
EnergieKer combines design with sustainability by continuously refining its processes to reduce environmental impact. The company uses energy-efficient kilns and recycles both process water and raw material waste. Its focus on modernisation ensures that environmental considerations are built into each step, from sourcing to packaging.
Ceramica Sant’Agostino: Energy and Ethical Sourcing
Ceramica Sant’Agostino places a strong emphasis on clean energy, operating with photovoltaic systems and optimised logistics to lower its carbon footprint. The company also champions ethical sourcing and product transparency, ensuring that sustainability extends beyond the factory floor into the full supply chain.
Sustainability You Can See and Trust
By working closely with manufacturers who prioritise sustainable practices, Italia Ceramics ensures our clients have access to high-quality products that support responsible building and design. From energy efficiency and resource conservation to product longevity, these efforts make a real difference, not only in how tiles are made but in the spaces they help shape.
