As a global leader in ceramic tile and hard surface manufacture, Porcelanosa Group pride themselves on a philosophy of sustainable development and continual innovation. At their manufacturing facilities in Spain they have implemented significant initiatives aimed at reducing their overall footprint on the environment:
 Fitting timers, motion sensors and energy saving lighting within all facilities.
|
 Introduction of variable frequency drives within motors of dust filters.
|
 All production waste reprocessed and reintroduced in the same production process. An average of 6% of the tiles produced come from recycled materials.
|
 Pioneered the introduction of co generation energy systems to tile manufacturing. Today, almost one third of all energy consumed is generated inside the factory itself.
|
 Adaptation to the MDR system has enabled a significant reduction in the consumption of gas, using heat exchangers to take advantage of preheated hot air and incorporating more efficient burners to reduce energy consumption and atmospheric emissions.
|
 Introduction of new automatic laser-guided storage systems and improvements to its transport system to the logistics centre, which has been replaced with a more eco friendly automated underground system.
|
 10 on-site water reticulation and treatment plants recover and revitalise water from the production system for the reuse in the manufacturing cycle.
|
 Incorporation of innovative dust extraction systems, aimed at ensuring air quality and recovering solid particles that can be used to prepare clays. |
