MARMO ECOLOGICO

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Marca Corona is dedicated to promoting human health and environmental protection through eco-sustainable practices. The company has achieved notable certifications and initiated projects to support sustainable corporate growth.
Certifications and Memberships
  • Most ceramic collections are ECOLABEL certified, indicating a low environmental impact.
  • The ECOLiving and MArMO ECOLOgiCO collections have earned LEED credits, affirming their sustainability.
  • Marca Corona is a member of GBC Italia, advocating for sustainable building practices via the LEED points system.
Environmental Responsibility
  • Recycling and reusing water equivalent to 40 million 1-litre bottles annually, with 40% recycled water in production.
  • Annual savings of over 1,000 tons of methane and a reduction of CO2 emissions by 3,000 tons, akin to removing 1,500 cars from the road for a year.
  • Recycling nearly 1,000 tons of raw waste annually, using discarded materials to prepare ceramic mixes, reducing raw material consumption.
Recycling and Material Recovery
Marca Corona has implemented a system to recover and reuse up to 1,000 tons of unbaked production waste annually, reclaiming raw materials that do not meet quality standards and reintroducing them into the production cycle.
LEED Certification
LEED is a voluntary certification system by the US Green Building Council, applied in 40 countries, evaluating buildings based on six key areas. Marca Corona's products contribute to LEED ratings by incorporating recycled materials.
ECOLIVING and MARMO ECOLOGICO Collections
These collections use recycled materials from other industries, contributing to LEED points in four areas. Modern technologies enable Marca Corona to meet and exceed international environmental quality standards.
CRT Recycling
Marca Corona is exploring new applications for glass recovered from obsolete CRTs to address disposal challenges.
Specifications
The document outlines technical specifications for tiles, including edge straightness, squareness, and flatness with permissible deviations. Structural characteristics such as water absorption (ISO 10545-3 ≤ 0.5%) and mechanical properties like breaking strength (ISO 10545-4, S ≥ 1300 N) are detailed.
Thermal and Hygrometric Characteristics
Specifications include the linear heat expansion coefficient and thermal shock resistance (ISO 10545-9), with methods available for testing. Frost resistance is also required (ISO 10545-12).
Safety Characteristics
The coefficient of static friction is specified (ASTM C 1028, ≥ 0.60 for both dry and wet conditions). Non-slip classification is based on the environment or working area (DIN 51130, R 10 R 9).
Chemical Characteristics
Resistance to household chemicals and swimming pool salts is classified as UB min (ISO 10545-13). Resistance to low and high concentrations of acids and alkalis is also detailed.
Jointing and Cleaning Recommendations
Detailed procedures for jointing and initial cleaning are provided, recommending improved cement-based mortars (CLASSE CG2). Final cleaning involves using an acid solution after the mortar has fully cured.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance procedures are suggested to ensure the longevity and appearance of the tiles.
Grouting and Initial Cleaning
  • Types of Grout: Use cement-based grouts for joints at least 1.0 mm wide, specifically KERACOLOR FF by MAPEI, without additives.
  • Application Methods: Fill joints with cement-based grout using a spatula or rubber squeegee, ensuring no air bubbles or unevenness.
  • Excess Grout Removal: Remove excess grout diagonally with a spatula while wet. Clean remaining grout after 5 minutes with a damp cellulose sponge, rinsing frequently using two water containers.
Final Cleaning Operations
  • Recommended Products: Use a buffered alkaline solution like FILA DETERDEK, diluted 1:5 in warm water. Avoid metal acids due to harmful fumes.
  • Method of Use: Dampen grout with water to protect it, spread diluted acid solution evenly, let it react, scrub with a scotch-brite sponge, and rinse thoroughly with warm water.
Maintenance
  • Daily Maintenance: Use FILA CLEANER diluted 1:200 in warm water, wringing out rags or mops to minimize wetness. No rinsing needed.
  • For Heavier Dirt: Use FILA PS/87 diluted 1:10, followed by rinsing.

Ogni anno recuperiamo quasi 1.000 tonnellate di scarti crudi. I materiali crudi scartati durante il ciclo produttivo, perché non conformi agli standard qualitativi Marca Corona, vengono recuperati nella loro totalità. Non avendo ancora subito il processo di cottura, questi materiali possono essere utilizzati nella fase di preparazione dell’impasto, con una notevole riduzione del consumo di materie prime. Every year, we recover almost 1,000 tons of raw waste. The raw materials discarded during the production process as not complying with Marca Corona’s quality standards are totally recycled. As...

MARMO ECOLOGICO-10

LEADING TECHNOLOGY, LEED ECO-FRIENDLINESS. MARMO ECOLOGICO is not merely a new ceramic product. It is the beginning of a new era. It is one of the first complete ceramic tile collections manufactured using a ceramic mix deriving from post-consumer materials, namely RAEE: electric and electronic waste. In particular, MARMO ECOLOGICO derives from the recycling of CRT (cathode ray tube) used in obsolete TV monitors. All this has been made possible thanks to the important partnership with Remedia, the leading Italian organisation for the eco-sustainable management of electric and electronic waste....
