Air clean® report - 1

better quality Breinco is aware of the challenge represented by sustainability and the importance of establishing a strategic approach based on change. Breinco has developed a new message for positioning the corporate brand, breincobluefuture, in response to new market demands and the requirements of society as regards sustainability criteria. Following its new strategic guidelines, Breinco has evolved its product research and development, and has created a new line of products: eco-logic®. Commitment to the environment -CO2 regional materials flexible paving long life Including environmental aspects in the design of the products is no longer just an idea; it has begun to be a necessity, and in some cases a reality. The 5th edition of the Design Award for Recycling in 2009 saw Breinco receive recognition from the Catalan Regional Government for the company’s innovative strategy for the development and creation of new, highly-innovative and environmentally-friendly products aimed at the construction sector. The award, which was presented by the Regional Minister for the Environment and Housing, Francesc Baltasar, also recognised the company’s firm commitment to pioneering a model conception of business management. Once more, Breinco led the field with the launch of this new strategy and its eco-logic® products at the 2009 Construmat fair in Barcelona and has positioned itself as a national benchmark in sustainable products. light colours green joint great durability Breinco is the first Spanish company to produce air clean® concrete pieces with photocatalytic properties, which cause a decontaminating, self-cleaning effect and which reduce the emission of environmentally-harmful NOx. Another feature of the eco-logic® range of products is the use of recycled materials and their re-use and corresponding recycling when they reach the end of their useful lives. A significant amount of the aggregates used in manufacturing the product comes from construction and demolition waste from the Tecnocatalana de Runes S. L. treatment plant at Les Franqueses del Vallès. Thus we obtain products of the same quality and which utilise waste, so that it does not build up at refuse dumps.

We are part of the planet® nitrates The highly-toxic nitrogen oxides themselves dissolve in water with great difficulty, meaning that not even rain can eliminate these gases from the atmosphere. In contrast, the final products of the chemical reaction, i.e. nitric acid or its salts, are especially soluble in water, and therefore rainwater, condensation, or water used for cleaning can dissolve and eliminate them. The nitrate thus generated may be available as an essential nutrient for plants, even in biodegraded form in the soil or dissolved in water. A long-lasting effect With the adherents...

Experts’ report summary In a series of investigations, it has been possible to verify that the concentration of nitrogen oxide (NOx) in outside air, in an area paved with paving stones which include titanium dioxide, supplied and manufactured by the company F.C. Nüdling, degraded rapidly and significantly. Therefore, air clean® photocatalytic paving stones signify an active contribution to protecting the Environment. The product in degradation resulting from photocatalysis (nitrate salts) involves no environmental risk. air clean® photocatalytic paving certificate of effectiveness The...

We are part of the planet® 3. Real case A street in Erfurt, Germany, was paved using using air clean® photocatalytic paving stones and the results obtained affirmed an average reduction of 20% in NO2 and 38% in NO. These results certify and confirm the values obtained in the field study measurements. The measurements fulfil the values required by regulation 22 on Immission Values for Harmful Substances in the Air (BImSchV Regulation) in the version accepted on 4 July 2007 (German Official Bulletin 1, page 1006), appendix 4, for oriented measurements. Quality certificate of the pavings...
