Green Approach

GREEN APPROACH

CO2 REDUCTION

GREEN ENERGY
Kronos uses Green Energy. All electricity used at Kronos plants is obtained from cogeneration and hydroelectric power station.

RECYCLING PROCESS: ZERO WASTE
Kronos tiles are produced following a specific process that allows the addition of recycle content to the layer body of the tiles.
Kronos tiles are produced following a specific process that allows the addition of recycle content to the layer body of the tiles.
This makes possible for Kronos to use pre-and-post consumer waste to create a body layer and thus a high quality tile.
Kronos tiles and slabs consist of 35% recycled material, depending on the product.
The pre-consumer recycling system is 100%.
Post-consumer recycling is under study and some preliminary trials should start shortly.

LOCAL RAW MATERIALS
Kronos obtains most of its natural raw materials for tile production in the american territory. All the raw materials come from a radius of 800 Km/ 500 Ml from the production plants.

H20 MANAGEMENT AND PURIFICATION
All waste-water is reused through the manufacturing process, this is already 100%.

RECYCLED/RECYCLABLE PACKING MATERIAL
All our paper packaging materials are made from recycled paper and are further recyclable. Kronos uses “Heat treatment certified pallets” that are disinfected by heat and not by poisonous gas.

LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT
A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is also known as an “eco-balance” or cradle-to-grave-analysis.
