Our actions
Residues management
Mud and watery suspension at glazing section, tiles residues and atomisation plants.
Natural resources saving: water
Water depuration at cutting, polish and bevelling sections. Recycling of the 100% of the water used in the glazing sections at atomisation plants.
Energy saving
VIVES has set up two cogeneration stations in order to satisfy the heating needs of the clay atomisation sections and, at the same time to produce electricity necessary for the needs of the internal premises.
Atmospheric emissions control
Reglamentary control, auto-control and management for the reduction of the atmospheric emissions.
Acoustic contamination control
Technical and soundproofing measures to reduce acoustic contamination.
Kyoto protocol and emissions trading
We participate in the emission trading by installing a clay atomisation and a cogeneration plant at Ceramica Vives I.
