Where to buy Info on co₂ fully offset

MAPEI promotes the total offsetting of residual CO₂ emissions during the life cycle of products by acquiring certified environmental credits to support the implementation of reforestation projects.

CO₂ emissions measured throughout the life cycle of products from the Zero line in 2025, using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, verified and certified with EPDs, have been offset through the acquisition of third-party-certified carbon credits in support of forestry protection projects. A commitment to the planet, to people and to biodiversity.
