Reducing emissions is one of the most important environmental challenges. To reduce emissions, we have adopted several solutions: from reusing process water to prevent industrial wastewater from being discharged into waterways or the sewage system including water from other companies to chimneys equipped with pollutant filters and the use of low-emission products throughout the production process.
Monitoring and Reduction of Discharges and Emissions
Flue Filters
Filters on flues are essential to reducing environmental emissions. The filters operate by capturing contaminants in a filter fabric which considerably reduces atmospheric emissions, keeping them below the authorised limits.
Low-Emission Inks
The low-environmental impact inks, in use in the lines with digital ink-jet printing technology, have been designed in synergy with our ceramics district partners, and with the ink manufacturers who have been working in partnership with the ceramics industry for many years. These compounds do not generate harmful emissions, do not represent hazardous waste, and allow for a reduction in odorous emissions compared to traditional inks, thus representing a step forward in protecting the health and safety of our workers and the local community. In terms of sustainability, this new type of ink allows for reductions in odours due to volatile organic compounds by 30%.
