For Lea Ceramiche, producing environmentally friendly products with the smallest footprint possible far exceeds its dedication to craftsmanship. However, when that craftsmanship far exceeds the competitors, no superlatives are enough to match the excellence put forth both in product and responsibility.
Founded in Modena Italy, Lea Ceramiche has long been a pioneering leader in ceramics, but has now taken the helm as a leader in green design. Each phase and process, from the sourcing of raw materials to the quality of the work place, and even the packaging it uses is studied and optimized in order to save energy and materials by using the very best technologies available. This strategy allows the company to slash the amount of gas released into the atmosphere during production, which now stands at 10 times less the stringent environmental limits set by Italian law.
In order to save on water, which is needed in vast amounts for the production of ceramic tiles, Lea Ceramiche recycles 100% of all water used in the production cycle, resulting in 60% less water used in its factories. Recovering the wasted heat released from its kilns, it is able to cut the amount of natural gas used for preparing the ceramic body, achieving a 25% reduction in the methane it needs and a considerable reduction in its carbon dioxide emissions.
These ecological efforts take absolutely nothing from the artistry or superb creativity that permeates each tile and design produced. Clean, conceptual, traditional and innovative creations are produced with shocking ease and stunning effect, Lea Ceramiche represents brilliance on every level.
