Sustainability: More Than Just a Buzzword
When choosing materials for your home or commercial space, sustainability cannot be ignored. The Pietra Kode range by Dekton takes this commitment to the next level by being the only Cradle-to-Grave carbon-neutral surface on the market. But what does this mean for you and the planet?
Carbon Neutrality: A Full Life-Cycle Approach
Dekton calculates its carbon footprint for the entire product life cycle, from raw materials to fabrication and global distribution to the final consumer. This comprehensive approach ensures that every stage of the product’s life is accounted for regarding its environmental impact.
Renewable Energy and Emission Offsetting
100% of the electricity used in Dekton’s production comes from renewable sources. Additionally, any unavoidable emissions are offset by investing in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission-offsetting projects. This makes Dekton a leader in design functionality and environmental stewardship.
Third-Party Verification
To ensure transparency and credibility, Dekton’s carbon footprint is calculated and verified by accredited third-party organizations, with the approval of MITERD (Spanish Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge).
