Sustainability Quiz

Providing the best and most innovative solutions for planning and building in an eco-sustainable way is a fundamental commitment for Mapei. It requires responsibility and the ability to make choices to provide safe, reliable and durable products with the lowest impact on the environment, which can be available to designers, contractors, applicators and customers.

Durable Products = Less Waste, Less Resources Depletion = Lower Environmental Impact

How Do We Measure
Environmental Impacts?

The environmental impacts of our products are quantified through LCA (Life Cycle Assessment), a standardized methodology. The outcome is issued in an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which is a report according to international standards (ISO 14025, EN 15804).
The LCA of a product is the assessment of its environmental impacts all along its life cycle: from the raw materials extraction, to their transport to the plant, to the production phases. LCA takes into account packaging, wastes and the delivery of the products to the customers and the final disposal.

Mapei promotes the 2030 Agenda with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

to offer certified building products respectful to Environment and People.
