Waste Recovery

  • We reincorporate 100% of our ceramic shavings, significantly reducing the consumption of virgin raw materials. This practice not only conserves resources but also ensures that nothing goes to waste in our production process.

  • All bisque waste is reincorporated into the ceramic clay, closing the loop on our production cycle and enhancing the sustainability of our materials.

  • Our glaze recycling unit allows us to reincorporate 100% of our glaze waste, ensuring that every drop of glaze is reused efficiently.

  • We recycle 100% of our plaster molds, demonstrating our commitment to reducing landfill waste and promoting the circular economy.

At FIVO, sustainability is not just a practice; it is a fundamental principle that guides every aspect of our operations. We are deeply committed to minimizing our environmental impact through innovative waste recovery practices, the responsible use of natural resources, and energy-efficient solutions. Here’s how we’re making a difference:

Responsible Use of Natural Resources

  • All industrial water is treated through our ETARI system and reused within our processes. This approach not only conserves water but also ensures that our operations remain environmentally responsible.ext goes here

  • The water used in our washing processes is repurposed for bathroom facilities, garden maintenance, and reintroduced into our product circuit, maximizing the utility of every drop of water.

  • The water from our automatic glazing processes is recycled and reused, further contributing to our efficient water management strategy

  • We have implemented a multiannual energy rationalization plan to continually improve our energy efficiency and reduce our carbon footprint.

  • By harnessing solar energy through photovoltaic panels, we produce a significant portion of our energy needs sustainably, reducing our reliance on non-renewable energy sources.

At FIVO, we believe that sustainability is a journey, one that requires constant innovation and dedication. Our commitment to waste recovery, responsible resource use, and energy efficiency is a testament to our dedication to protecting the environment while delivering high-quality ceramics.
