Ceramiche Piemme – legendary ceramic floor and wall tile brand from the Modena district- was one of the winning companies in the “CONAI Competition for Prevention – Developing the environmental sustainability of packaging” (2017 Prevention Competition Regulations) which rewards the most innovative and eco-sustainable packaging solutions on the market from the two-year period 2015-2016.
The company from Fiorano Modenese won an award for saving raw material (with a score of 2) and optimising its logistics (with a score of 1) for the production process of its ceramic tiles in the 30x60cm, 45x45cm and 45x90cm sizes.

“We are extremely happy to have won this award, which acknowledges the work we have done over the last few years in terms of sustainability and respect for the environment.” explains Massimo Barbari, CEO of Ceramiche Piemme “To drastically reduce the consumptions of natural resources and the emissions of CO² into the atmosphere, we invested in modernising the production systems, focusing on recovering thermal energy and reducing the emissions of CO² by over 4200 tons/year”.

The participants in the Competition were companies which, in the two-year period 2015-2016, invested in preventative activities regarding the environmental sustainability of their packaging materials, acting based on at least one of the following levers: re-using and reducing the volume of its raw materials, optimising its logistics chain, favouring recycling activities, using materials generated by recycling, simplifying the packaging system and optimising its production processes.

All the winning companies will receive their awards this evening, during the event “The Economy of the future” to be held at the Triennale in Milan.
