Ragno, a pioneer in the Italian ceramic industry, has long championed environmental sustainability, developing the first eco-sustainable ceramic process. Their commitment extends to high-end floor and wall tile production, emphasizing resource conservation and minimizing environmental impact through quarry restoration, controlled waste management, and industrial wastewater recycling. This dedication positions Ragno as a leader in promoting a circular economy within the ceramics sector, utilizing recycled materials and sustainable practices.
Ragno's environmental innovation dates back to 1960, recycling green glass for tile glazes, and continues with products incorporating up to 40% recycled materials. The company's commitment is validated by prestigious certifications like LEED, Health Product Declaration (HPD), and Environmental Product Declarations (EPD), ensuring transparency and adherence to green building standards. Their participation in the Declare Label program further demonstrates a dedication to non-toxic materials.
The company's energy and resource management practices are equally robust. Holding ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 50001, and ISO 17889-1 certifications, Ragno employs energy-efficient technologies like cogeneration systems, which have significantly reduced CO2 emissions. Their circular economy model focuses on reusing production scrap, recycling packaging, and recovering wastewater, achieving a 99.6% waste recycling rate and 120% water recycling rate.
Ragno's sustainability extends to packaging and production facilities. All packaging is made from 100% recycled materials, and FSC-certified wood is used for pallets. Production sites utilize cogeneration systems and energy-efficient technologies, further minimizing environmental impact. Ragno's ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship ensures continuous improvement in sustainability practices, from product design to resource management.
