Preserving the environment is an effort we take very seriously at Ideal Tile. We run our business responsibly and constantly strive to reduce our carbon footprint. From coordinating logistics with our partners to ensure fuel-efficient A-to-B delivery routes, to recycling pallets in our warehouses and paper in our offices, we are mindful at each of our locations that local actions make a global difference.
Ideal Tile commits to buy high-quality products that meet certifications obtained by the most qualified national and global bodies. In browsing through our inventory, you will see special symbols that indicate whether a product is recycled, certified by the U.S. Green Building Council for LEED credits, or has obtained other qualified green certifications, including Ecoabel, ICEA, CEN-KENMARK, the Green Building Council Italia (LEED Italia), and Bureau Veritas.
We buy from companies with a similar commitment and strict standards of environmental awareness. Ideal Tile has committed to choosing vendors & partners whose production practices pursue the goal of cutting enviormental impact by implementing such green strategies as below:
- process water is completely recycled and reused by means of a closed-loop system in the production process so that no hazardous water is released into the environment;
-depleted stone quarries are transformed into fish-stocked lakes and, through the replanting of indigenous flora, disrupted natural habitats are fully restored.
- gas emissions are overseen by relevant local authorities and are processed by the latest and most sophisticated systems for the elimination of pollutants;
- processing waste is managed as part of the production process so that 100% of raw material is exploited;
- acoustic impact of production machinery on the external environment is mitigated by the use of the latest and most effective systems for noise abatement and insulation;
- waste heat recovery systems are implemented to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels;
- natural products are quarried that create little waste and undergo minimal processing from mine to building site.
- waste packaging is sent for recycling and reuse; sales and marketing materials are produced from recyclable materials sourced from well-managed forests.
-all green strategies are certified and documented by globally recognized environmental bodies and those certificates are readily available to the public.
To you, our customer, we commit to fully informing you of the environmental impact of all Ideal Tile products.
