ADEX believes in the importance of keeping our environment healthy. This is only possible if everyone does their part in thinking and acting green. Our commitment starts with the implementation of the EQA ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, a key component of the European Union’s Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS). This certification is similar to the ISO9000, focuses on our production processes with EMAS demanding even higher standards in performance, legal compliance, and reporting. This framework has been instrumental in optimizing our processes to better protect the environment. We are dedicated to continual review and enhancement of our practices, upholding our promise to contribute positively to the planet’s health.

The adoption of solar panels in our manufacturing process is a cornerstone of our commitment to environmental sustainability. This initiative not only powers 30% of our production with clean, renewable solar energy, but also reaches up to 38% during peak sunlight hours. This significant reliance on solar power markedly lowers our carbon footprint and stands as a testament to our dedication to utilizing renewable energy sources and decarbonizing our manufacturing operations.

We take pride in the recycled content of our ceramic tiles, which are composed of 45% recycled materials. Our Floor porcelain tiles contain 47% recycled content, while our Mosaics contain an impressive 58%. These percentages are certified in accordance with the ISO 14021 standard, further emphasizing our commitment to sustainable practices.

Moreover, we are committed to reducing water consumption. Our manufacturing process optimizes water management, reusing and optimizing water in different processes that seek to reduce depletion and contamination.

As part of our dedication to environmental responsibility, our products are also covered by the sectorial Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), developed by ASCER and certified under the Global EPD program by AENOR. This declaration transparently verifies the environmental impact of our products throughout their life cycle, supporting sustainable building projects and eco-conscious design.

Together, let’s make a positive impact on the environment, one tile at a time.
