Simply more sustainable
Ri-Made Stone:
TO FAVOUR SCORES IN SUSTAINABILITY PROTOCOLS AND TO DECREASE THE USE OF RAW MATERIALS
In view of the high demand, with Ri-Made Stone we wanted to make a simply more sustainable standard solid wood available to the market. It is a product with a recycled content of between 5 and 15 per cent, consisting essentially of cement and waste building material that is ground before being fed into the production process. Ri-Made Stone does not have any particular technical characteristics, on the contrary, it confirms those already established of a classic solid wood; however, it allows it to be included in projects that require the presence of eco-sustainable material, guaranteeing its approval and certifying its operational suitability.
THE ADVANTAGES OF RI-MADE STONE
The material included in the base layer of the screed (between 5% and 15%) comes from cement and building material waste recovered from construction sites; its use, therefore, avoids an increase in landfill material and the use of new raw materials in the production phase.
MICHELETTO
FOR DESIGNERS
In recent years, the subject of the environmental problems afflicting our planet has increasingly become the focus of collective attention. And the responsibility for protecting our world should lie with everyone, including companies. At Micheletto, we believe that change is necessary, that something concrete must be done to help improve this negative situation, that a small gesture must be made that can add up to more actions shared by any category or sector. Ri-Made represents a line of products specially designed to try to make a contribution to environmental sustainability without diminishing the quality and performance of our products. With Ri-Made Stone, we want to present the market with another innovation that favours above all the ecological aspect, a product that maintains good performance and uses recycled building materials to reduce environmental pollution. We are aware that the road to bringing real improvements to the environment will be long and complex, but we are also convinced that these first steps are already a very good start.
FOR DESIGNERS
At the design level, Ri-Made Stone makes it possible to:
INCREASE SCORES IN ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY PROTOCOLS FOR BUILDINGS (ITACA, LEED, ETC.), THANKS TO CRITERIA REWARDING THE USE OF RECYCLED AND RECYCLABLE MATERIALS
ACHIEVE HIGHER SCORES IN TENDERS
MEET THE MINIMUM ENVIRONMENTAL CRITERIA (CAM) FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION, RENOVATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS
Cement and building material waste is just one of the recycled materials used in Micheletto paving, and is part of a general context of environmental awareness. While the recycled materials commonly used in concrete paving are raw materials reused from other products usually used in the building industry, the use of cement and building material scraps increases the focus on eco-sustainability, guaranteeing the same technical performance characteristics.
