Certified stone floors Eco-label

The industry of the stone floor has an impact& on our environment, it directly by the management of quarries for approvisionement in raw materials, management of waste, or indirectly, by his its energy consumption, in production or in transport. Today, at the time of the globalization, a lot of manufacturers do not hesitate to delocalize their productions in countries where the workforce is of lesser cost. The impact on the selling price of the stone floor is undeniable, but at what ecological and human price? It is not rare today to find labelings disturbing as "IMPORTED FROM ITALY" and further away"made in PRC". Disconcerting, isn't it!

All this to come to the initiative of the European Union there concerning industrial products made in Europe, having for object to value products made by a network of companies which make a commitment to respect the standards Eco-label, putting the ecology in the center of their statégies of growth. The road is still long before being able to buy a stone floor which would not have polluted. But be realistic, require the impossible!

The eco-label exists since 1992 and is now open to ceramic covers, under the category Hard Floor Coverings.
