                        These Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) provide a reliable, relevant, transparent, comparable and verifiable environmental profile that highlights an environmentally friendly product based on life cycle information (LCA) in accordance with international standards and data. quantified environmental.

                        The life cycle analysis (LCA) on which the DAP is is prepared in accordance with Product Category Rules (RCP) published as a technical standard or by a recognized Program. These RCPs ensure consistent criteria for a family of products with equivalent functions.

                      • FRENCH ENVIRONMENTAL LABEL

                        We also have the French environmental label on emissions to indoor air
                        (Émissions dans láir intérieur).

                        Since January 2013, all construction and decoration products that are marketed on the French market must have this new environmental label. This ecolabel identifies products with an emissions class (A +, A, B, C) based on the results of VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions tests according to the ISO 16000 series of standards.

                        This label is awarded to those construction materials that contribute to a healthy and environmentally friendly habitat, in such a way that they give the possibility to the health-conscious consumer, concerned with defending the environment, to protect themselves in their residential environment, in the face of the harmful effects on the health of the construction and decoration materials that you introduce into your home or workplace.

                      • SECURITY

                        CE markings on tiles. User safety.

                        This is not a quality mark but a guarantee that certain safety requirements have been met before a product can be sold. All ceramic tiles in circulation in the European Union must comply with the requirements of the CE marking, regardless of the quality of the tiles.

                        Under the European Construction Products Regulation, all building projects must be planned and executed in a way that does not compromise the safety of people, pets or goods or harm the environment.

                        Equipe Cerámicas’s ceramic tiles have a declaration of performance (formerly known as a declaration of conformity) available to all European Union customers wishing to see it. This contains details of how the product performs in terms of key safety criteria (fire, mechanical and slip resistance; heavy metal emissions; bonding strength with different adhesives; durability etc.). On the packaging, summarized information can be found, together with the CE marking.

                        The HPD is a standardized disclosure document that provides information on the chemical composition of a product and the associated hazard profile of its ingredients, supporting transparency in the construction sector.

                        HPD documentation may contribute to the achievement of credits under LEED green building certification systems, subject to the requirements of the applicable rating scheme.


                      Circular Economy

                      What is the circular economy?

                      In a world increasingly aware of the limits of natural resources and environmental impacts, the circular economy emerges as a transformative and necessary model. Unlike the traditional linear approach of “take, make, dispose”, the circular economy proposes a system in which products, materials and resources remain in use for as long as possible, minimizing waste and environmental impact.
                      At the core of the circular economy is the principle of closing the life cycle of products. This involves designing goods and services that can be repaired, reused, recycled or reconditioned.
                      Instead of becoming waste at the end of their useful life, products are reintegrated into the economic cycle, generating new values ​​and minimizing the use of natural resources.

                      At EQUIPE, our waste managers use methods that allow for recovery, prolonging the life of the product.

                      Recycling plays a crucial role in the circular economy. At EQUIPE, we have a system for segregating plastic waste from packaging, with the aim of returning these materials to our external supplier for later reuse.

                      Additionally, all the cardboard discarded during the order preparation process is reincorporated into the packaging system, thus reintegrating into the production cycle.
                      EQUIPE has a rigorous supplier approval procedure and a Sustainable Purchasing Policy. The implementation of these policies ensures that our suppliers operate in a socially responsible and environmentally conscious manner.

                      The process water is leaded to a settling tank, where suspended particles are separated and sludge is generated. This sludge is then removed and managed by an authorized waste management company.

                      Recycling of cooked and raw earth is a process that we implement to promote sustainability, reducing the extraction of new natural resources and decreasing the volume of waste.
