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 renewable energy projects.
Since 2012 we have offset over 80,000 tonnes of CO2 associated with the Italian manufacturing of Keraflex Maxi S1 Zero by acquiring certified environmental credits: in 2023, a new line of fully offset CO2 emissions ceramic products is born.
CO2 emissions measured throughout the life cycle of products from the Zero line in 2023 using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, verified and certified with EPDs, have been offset through the acquisition of certified carbon credits in support of renewable energy and forestry protection projects. A commitment to the planet, to people and to biodiversity.
A commitment to the planet, to people and to biodiversity. Choose sustainability for all your projects, with Mapei.
CO2 emissions from our products are expressed in kg CO2eq/kg of product and are calculated using standardised LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) methodology. The analysis of the life cycle of a product is an evaluation of the environmental impacts the product has throughout all the various phases of its life, from cradle to grave: from extraction of the raw materials that make up the formula to their transport to the production plant, the production cycle, product packaging, waste materials, transporting the finished product to the distributor and its final disposal.

The results obtained through LCA are verified and certified by an external body with an EPD, or Environmental Product Declaration, published with The International EPD System.
An EPD, Environmental Product Declaration, is prepared according to international standards (ISO 14025 and EN 15804, etc...) and shows the environmental impact of a product during its life’s cycle, evaluated using LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) methodology.
All Mapei EPDs are also published on the programme operator’s website https://www.environdec.com/home
