Eco-Label
 Eco-label is a product certification policy created in 1992 by the
European Community, enabling European consumers to easily identify
and purchase environmentally reliable products. As “green” products
become more important to us individually and collectively this is a
criteria to be aware of; as much of the tile being produced today is
coming from European countries. As LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) Certified projects become more common this is
a wonderful logo to recognize for quick identification of “green”
materials. The Eco-label can only be applied to the materials included
within the product groups for which the European Community has
issued specific directives, establishing the requirements that products
must have in order to be awarded the Eco-Label.
Ceramic tiles, as well as natural stones, concrete
paving units and agglomerated stones, are included
in the product group called HFC – Hard Floor
Coverings. Caesar Ceramics, which is part of the
Concorde Group, was one of the first to obtain the
Eco-label certification for all of their product lines. |
