Think Green

Catalano strongly believes that “Think Green” is

the road that needs to be followed for the future

of the ceramic industry: drastically reducing the

impact on the environment and the planned

application of the principles of LCD (Life Cycle

Design).

A highly cohesive

and motivated team

Catalano manages all environmental aspects with

a team of people who monitor and evaluate daily

the company’s environmental situation in order to

ensure compliance with laws, authorizations and

respect of the surrounding environment.

Procedures and researches

The implementation of robotic machineries has

allowed a significant qualitative production

improvements and also reduced energy

consumption and the impact on the environment.

Exclusive heat recovery system

An original and exclusive heat recycling system

was designed to further improve the protection

of the environment, which led to a considerable

reduction in energy during firing and drying

phases.

New photovoltaic systems

The implementation of our solar power plant has

allowed for fundamental energy savings of about 1

million kW a year.

Sustainability

It is the cornerstone for all design choices and

processes in the company, and it is confirmed by

the most important certifications obtained.

Total recycling of ceramic waste

The new innovative recycling plant, which is highly

energy-efficient, is able to recycle 100% of the

processing waste of industrial procedures derived

from the processing of natural raw materials.

Water purification plant

The water treatment plants have been made more

efficient through continuous research applied

to process engineering, achieving a significant

reduction in the use of purification products.
