📣 Important announcement! 📣 We have published our first 3rd party verified Environment Product Declaration (EPD) for our 95-98.5% recycled floor tile product - Mas. We have always implicitly known that our recycled input materials and production process would be lower energy and have a lower impact on resources. But, by going through the EPD process we have been able to understand explicitly how our products measure up against our competitors. The process has been extremely complex, time consuming and expensive and we couldn’t have done it without support from Innovate UK. It took our team months to collect the data from our suppliers and production partners. Every part of the product life cycle was considered from the recycled raw materials, distances and types of transport used to the Kwh’s and cubic meters of natural gas used to manufacture. We also conducted experimental work to establish process emissions (emissions from the raw materials themselves during production). All of the data was then independently modelled by Rohit Panchal, Life cycle assessment specialist at the Materials Processing Institute to create our unique Life Cycle Analysis. Finally we had to work through the data with our 3rd party verifier Jan Weinzettel to make sure the data was accurately modelled and in line with PCR 2019:14 and ISO standard 14025. We are now able to compare our Mas range against other producers with published EPD’s. Published in the same month was a refresh of the Spanish Industry wide EPD from the Association of Ceramic Tile Manufacturers (ASCER) which represents 55% of Spanish producers. Their data puts the average GWP-Total (A1-A3) at 12.5 kg per m2. https://lnkd.in/eYuSyZka Our weighted average Mas tile emits GWP-Total: 6.09kg per m2 CO2 Eq meaning it creates approximately 51% less CO2 compared to the average Spanish tile. Comparisons are helpful to see where we are on our mission. However, the most important take away for us is the incredibly detailed data created will enable us to make better design decisions in the future and further reduce our carbon footprint and resource use. You can download our EPD from the following link on the EPD International AB website under EPD registration number: EPD-IES-0016213:001 or at the following link: https://lnkd.in/e7-A3y7Q The carbon footprint for the individual colours is as follows for GWP total (A1-A3) CO2 Kg Eq: Grey : 5.95 kg Ochre: 6.30 kg Red: 6.47kg Charcoal: 6.19 kg

About us
ALUSID manufactures SilicaStone a new material made from 100% recycled glass and ceramic. Suitable for interiors and exteriors. We make all of our products by hand in our factory in our batch facility in Preston Lancashire. ALUSID was founded by David Binns and Alasdair Bremner with the vision to turn low value unwanted materials into beautiful products that architects and designers desired. Our unique products are between 98%-100% recycled materials, we can control the colour tone and texture of the material to create a genuine alternative to imported natural stone products. The low environmental impact production process, uses no chemicals or resin binders and the manufacturing process produces zero waste, this means that while we hope that our products will be used and enjoyed for years and decades to come, when our products come to the end of their useful life they themselves can be recycled within our process. ALUSID aims is to be a leader in the supply of premium engineered sustainable architectural materials and remain at the forefront of this growing sector through continual R&D to improve the material properties along with the development of new products and applications for the catalogue of materials already developed.
