Environmental Declaration of Products

Life- Cycle Analysis (LCA) is a pioneering tool within the area of sustainable politics and actions. It investigates and evaluates the environmental impacts of a product or service during all stages of its existence (extraction, production, distribution, use and waste). Last year, Cosentino Group was analyzed under these strict evaluations, not only for the environmental impact of Eco production in factories, but also all its indirect and associated processes. They include more than 1500 productive processes and 200 raw materials. The Cosentino Group becomes the first company worldwide in the quartz worktops sector to obtain an Environmental Declaration of Products (EPD), that certifies its Life-cycle analysis. The Environmental Product Declaration granted by “ The International EPD Consortium” is the most recognized international certification, with more than 140 products of more than 100 companies in 9 countries. This statement is certified by an independent checker and it is totally transparent and comparable, as its results can be freely checked.
Cradle to Cradle, a philosophy

This award is granted to construction companies which re-use every element, returning the product to the land as a “biological nutrient” or to the industry as “technical nutrient”, so as to be recycled all over again.
The authors of the book “Cradle to Cradle: Remaking The Way We Make Things”, (Michael Braungart and William McDonough) defend the idea that no consumer product should be made if it will become useless, potentially polluting junk at the end of its useful life. It is the intention of C2C to promote the manufacture and use of 100% recycled materials.
