The company was also recently added to the list of members of the Green Building Council, testimony of its dedication to the values of environmental eco-sustainability.
More than 70 Fiandre materials are made according to the parameters required for LEED certification, materials made using over 40% of recycled resources.
The latest certificate issued by the ANAB, Association of sustainable architecture, has also acknowledged this dedication by including Fiandre materials in the list of products certified for green building.
What's more, UNESCO has offered the opportunity to join the circuit of UNESCO Heritage Italian cities with the common goal of working to preserve the cultural heritage and landscape of our country.
GranitiFiandre porcelain stoneware materials offer a further guarantee for the environment also in the phase of the removal of the working residues.

At the end of their life cycle they do not require treatments since, due to the high chemical inertia, they do not release substances in the environment, they are fully considered inert materials.

All Fiandre porcelain tile products guarantee specifications which go beyond legal and industrial standards in Europe and in the United States in terms of hardness, freeze-thaw resistance, wear, and chemical attack.
Fiandre accomplishes this remaining environmentally conscious during both the extraction and processing stages.
Even though the raw materials used in the manufacturing process comes from all the corners of the globe, zircon sands from Australia, cobalt from Zaire and feldspar from Germany, Turkey and Sardinia, Fiandre still remains environmentally friendly.
