1/100% recycled raw material.
Porcelain stoneware tiles that do not meet our quality standards and have not yet been fired are ground and converted into new raw material for re-introduction into the production process. This reduces the need to use new raw materials.
2/ The incinerated waste is 100% recycled.
Burnt waste, which cannot be recycled into the production process, is also recycled outside the ceramics industry and used to make under-bed roads or fill mined quarries. Furthermore, unlike other high-impact finishing materials that must be disposed of in landfills or waste-to-energy incinerators, the removed ceramic waste is inert and poses no environmental hazard.
3/ Recycling 99% of the waste produced
For many years, Novoceram has been pursuing a path aimed at containing the waste of all resources, particularly reducing the quantities generated, with a recovery rate approaching 100%. Since 2009, the collection of mixed waste has seen a significant decrease in general industrial waste.
4/ 100% industrial water recycling
Closed-cycle industrial wastewater unit: Thanks to investments made in production units, Novoceram purifies and recycles all water used during the production process, thus reducing the consumption and waste of this precious natural resource.
5/ Filtering emissions into the atmosphere using the latest technologies
Atmospheric emissions are reduced to the lowest levels. Novoceram's investments in low-dust, low-gas emissions plants reduce the environmental impact of the production process and protect the environment.
6/ Improve energy consumption
Novoseram has implemented an energy management policy in accordance with NF EN ISO 50001 regulations. Several projects have been approved, such as recovering heat from furnaces to feed atomizers to save gas consumption, replacing all lighting fixtures to better manage factory and outdoor lighting, and implementing a real-time monitoring program, which means the ability to optimize every significant energy consumption.
7/0% Lead, Cadmium, Heavy Metals and Other CMRs (Carcinogens, Mutages and Reprotoxics)
All carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic substances (such as lead, cadmium, and other heavy metals) typically associated with ceramic production have been removed from the production process and from all Novocram products. This radical step reduces the possibility of these substances being released into the atmosphere, minimizes contact with them during product handling, and eliminates the potential for harm to the environment and the health of production personnel and those living in the environments where the products are installed.
8/ 100% of packaging materials are recyclable
The materials used in our product packaging are completely recyclable as they are made of paper, cardboard, wood and plastic.
9/ 100% of the packaging carton is made from recycled materials.
100% of the materials used in the cardboard packaging of Novoceram products come from the recycled supply chain.
10/ Indoor air purification system for the factory using the latest technologies
For many years now, Novoceram has been committed to improving the working conditions of its employees, in particular the continuous improvement of the microclimate within the plant through daily cleaning and investments in vacuum systems and other dust collection devices.
11 / Improve the lighting system
Novoceram has been continuously replacing its lighting fixtures with energy-efficient equipment, both outside the factory and inside the plant, office building, and showroom. In the new logistics center and on new production lines introduced since 2015, Novoceram uses an intelligent LED lighting system that saves 82% of electricity annually.
12/ No raw materials come from Natura 2000 protected areas.
No raw materials used by Novoseram come from Natura 2000 areas: a European network of land and sea areas recognized by EU Member States as needing protection and conservation in order to preserve the natural habitats of native plant and animal species.
13/ 100% raw materials used in the production of ceramic body have low environmental impact during transportation
Raw materials are responsibly selected by Novoceram. Seventy percent of the raw materials for the ceramic mix come from France, and the remaining 30% are transported by sea and river, significantly reducing the CO2 footprint of these raw materials.
14/ Attention to selecting suppliers with regard to environmental issues and trade ethics
Novoceram also makes its commitment to the environment sustainable over time thanks to the criteria it sets for itself in selecting its suppliers and other business partners, criteria that take into account environmental sustainability and social responsibility.
Finally, Novoceram has chosen Luxury Land Company to be its distributor and agent in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia due to Luxury Land’s history and its contribution to sustainable development and community service. To browse the company’s products, click here.
