SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2021
Lastras, a sustainable product by its own nature
With the super formats, already known as 'continuous
surfaces,' the limits of uses are overcome. Porcelain tile
becomes a raw material for covering both interiors and facades,
for furnishing, applied to countertops in functional environments
and to design furniture, and for decorating, replacing panels
and cuts usually made with stones, marble and wood.
Ceramic is a more sustainable material due to its essential
characteristics: inert raw material and usually extracted from
places close to factories, multiple possibilities of regeneration
of clay deposits and production process that uses clean energy,
closed water circuit and allows maximum reuse of waste.
The technical features allow its use as coating, replacing
materials that are endangered or that cause larger
environmental impacts.
Lastras further enhances all of those sustainable features. With
the evolution of technology, thicknesses were reduced and the
product uses less raw material and energy, positively impacting
the entire chain. Continuous surfaces and aesthetic evolution
allow previously unimaginable uses, logistics are optimized and
construction systems often allow reuse.
Portobello is a pioneer in building the culture of large surfaces
in architecture, playing a leading role in this frontier of innovation
in porcelain tile. It invests in the training of professionals to
incorporate Lastras into their projects, in specification, logistics
and installation.
The Portobello Shop stores were transformed into Lastras
Portobello stores in the last two years, with an exhibition
aligned with the best stores in the world, providing employees,
specifiers and customers with an immersion in this
new concept.
