SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2021

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2021 <3 Portobello The Ceramic Covering GRI 304-2, GRI 306-1, GRI 306-2, GRI 416-1 Due to its essence and several characteristics, ceramic is a more sustainable product when compared to other covering options on the market, such as stone, wood, vinyl, carpet and concrete. Its production uses raw materials extracted from the surface layers of the soil, with deposits explored for a short period of time, which return to their previous vocation, without great environmental impact and without compromising local biodiversity. Ceramic waste is 100% reincorporated into production, and the production process has natural gas and electricity as its main source of energy, both with less impact. As it is an inert material, it can be disposed of in landfills. regenerative extraction RECOVERABLE DEPOSITS The main raw material of ceramics is clay, which is removed from more superficial layers than other natural materials, an essential feature for the restoration of deposit areas. zero allergens sterile product ZERO ALLERGENS An inert material, it does not allow the proliferation of mites, bacteria, fungi and molds. RECYCLABLE recyclable It does not cause environmental impact when discarded and can be reincorporated into similar production processes or reused as an input in the basic stages of civil construction. respect for biodiversity ZERO VOCs Ceramics is inorganic, emitting zero volatile organic compounds, gases harmful to the respiratory system. fire resistant FIRE RESISTANT It does not release toxic fumes in extreme situations. ZERO FORMALDEHYDE Ceramics do not contain binders, including formaldehyde, which is harmful to non-toxic product human health.
