Company

Cooperativa Ceramica d'Imola has undertaken a new project: to create its own porcelain stoneware composed of a blend which combines traditional mixes with materials that derive from the recovery of raw and cooked scrap as well as the residue from the depuration processes. This combination gives birth to the Biogres brand which characterizes the production of Cooperativa Ceramica d'Imola with ecological quality and aesthetics.

The Biogres brand products have the following distinctive characteristics:

• 100% reutilization of the raw waste, with the reduction in the use of new prime materials and protection of the natural resources;
• 100% reutilization of the water used for processing and consequent reduction in the water requirement, thus protecting the water resource of the territory;
• 100% recycling of the cooked waste;
• Reutilization of the non-ceramic waste for the recycling processes and using them in other production processes;
• 100% recycling of the depuration residue;
• 20% reduction of the energy consumption through the installation of high energy performance system solutions;
• Over 95% of the energy required is generated through in-house production using cogeneration systems;
• 15% reduction of the CO2 emission;
• Absence of volatile organic substances;
• Containment of the emissions into the atmosphere which is by far inferior to the environmental limits required by the Italian legislation.
