CRADLE TO CRADLE CERTIFIED® FULL SCOPE SILVER LEVEL FOR IRIS CERAMICA GROUP MATERIALS
Iris Ceramica Group has renewed its Cradle to Cradle Certified® Full Scope Silver Level certification, awarded by the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute in accordance with the new Version 5.0 of the standard.
At the same time, the Group has also obtained C2C Certified® Circularity Silver Level and C2C Certified® Material Health Silver Level certifications, which highlight and further explore specific aspects already covered by the Full Scope certification, with particular emphasis on material circularity and the safety of the raw materials used.
Cradle to Cradle Certified® is one of the world’s most ambitious standards for the design and manufacture of safe, circular and responsible products. The assessment is based on five sustainability performance categories:
- Material Health: ensuring that materials are safe for people and the environment;
- Product Circularity: enabling a circular economy through regenerative products and process design;
- Clean Air & Climate Protection: promoting renewable energy and reducing emissions;
- Water & Soil Stewardship: protecting water and soil resources;
- Social Fairness: respecting human rights and contributing to a fair and equitable society.
The certification covers not only aspects related to the product life cycle, but also the company’s respect for human rights throughout its supply chain. For this reason, it is considered one of the most innovative, comprehensive and noteworthy environmental certifications.
The renewal of this prestigious recognition, which applies to the Made in Italy materials of all the Group’s brands, marks another milestone in its ongoing commitment to building a better future.
