On 29th November eleven major ceramic tile manufacturers in the Castellón cluster received the Environmental Product Declaration AENOR GlobaEPD certification, making the ceramic industry in our region a leader in terms of obtaining eco-labels at national level.

Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a system of European eco-labelling of products in the construction sector which can certify the environmental impact throughout the life cycle of products and eco-efficient manufacturing process. Specifically, the DAP is a type III ecolabel pioneer in Spain which is already applied in other countries such as Norway, Canada, Japan , South Korea , Germany, Holland , Switzerland and France, and is under establishment in Denmark and Italy.

The AENOR GlobalEPD program, which allows obtaining Environmental Product Declarations , is currently a voluntary certification system , but it can become a very important factor for companies or sectors in order to promote competitiveness against competition from other countries and facilitate access to markets with a higher level of environmental awareness in the international arena.

The Spanish industry of ceramic wall and floor tiles is aware of the capacity of ceramic coverings as a material to build a more sustainable architecture. Recently they launched a website (www.spaintiles.info/eco) with the aim of informing about the characteristics of ceramic tiles, showing examples of sustainable projects , disseminating the studies carried out in R & D, and presenting the ceramic latest innovations in terms of sustainability.
