Environment from a global perspective
Today, environmental issues are taking up more and more space in both the media and people's everyday lives, which means that both the private and public spheres are affected. It is our view that globalization and the relatively high standard of living are eating away at our planet. Limited and valuable natural resources must be nurtured and preserved for future generations.
What do we do ourselves?
Bricmate works actively to improve our environmental performance as far as is technically possible and economically reasonable.
We hold diplomas according to the Swedish Environmental Base; the diploma requirements are strict and are based on the fact that we constantly improve our environmental performance and continuously review our routines and processes. Our environmental impact lies largely in the production of ceramic products.
All our ceramics are manufactured by leading and high-tech producers in Europe with a focus in Italy and Spain, where continuous environmental management work is part of the daily routine. The EU-common environmental work together with the geographical proximity to the producers means that emissions from shipping are minimised.
Bricmate offers a range of porcelain stoneware where parts of the range are inspired by marble, limestone and other natural stone looks. This means, in some sense, that finite natural stone resources can be saved in favour of ceramic variants made of sand, feldspar and clay. Our series J Norrvange is, for example, inspired by the Gotland limestone, M Glanshammar and M Kolmården, which mimic classic Swedish marble varieties.
The small details make a difference! By 2022, 100% of our range will be produced in Europe. This has led to a sharp decline in our carbon dioxide emissions in connection with transport.
We always want to make the better choice for the environment. Take part in our latest successes in our work for the environment and feel free to read more about our environmental work in our environmental policy.
