Building a Sustainable Future Together

FROM NOW YOU CAN PLAY A PART

Now you can play a part and reduce environmental impact without compromising on performance. That is the idea behind the products from the ZERO Line by Mapei. The CO₂ emissions of products from the ZERO Line are quantified using standardized LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) methods.

For every product, the environmental impact is evaluated throughout every stage of its life: from extraction of the raw materials that make up the formula to their transport to the production plant, and then on to the production cycle, its packaging, to waste materials, to transporting the finished product to the distributor, then lastly on to its final disposal.

The residual CO₂ emissions from the products of the new Mapei ZERO Line are fully offset using certified carbon credits.

ZERO LINE - TILE ADHESIVE

Keraflex Maxi S1 Zero (Grey)

Special high performance, deformable, non-slip grey a adhesive with extended open time, Low Dust technology, very low emission of volatile organic compounds and with offset Greenhouse Gas emissions for bonding ceramic tiles and large stone slabs

Zero drop in high thickness
Excellent workability
Deformable
Ideal for installing large formats
High bond strength

Ultracolor Plus

High-performance, anti-efflorescence, quick-setting and drying polymer-modified mortar free from Portland cement with water-repellent DropEffect® and mould-resistant BioBlock® technology for grouting joints up to 20 mm wide, with very low emission of volatile organic compounds and offset Greenhouse Gas Emissions

How MAPEI measures CO₂

CO₂ emissions from our products are expressed in kg CO₂eq/kg of product and are calculated using standardised LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) methodology.

The results obtained through LCA are then verified and certified by an external body with an EPD, or Environmental Product Declaration, published with The International EPD System.

Why the initiative can be relied on

Because we calculate CO₂ emissions using LCA methodology with results reported and registered on a verified and certified document (EPD –Environmental Product Declaration)
Because credits for offsetting are certified and projects are monitored by international bodies
Because our R&D laboratories are constantly developing high quality, durable products but which have less impact on the environment aimed, therefore, at reducing the amount of CO₂ associated to the product itself throughout its life-cycle

SUSTAINABILITY - ZERO LINE BY MAPEI

Delivering projects with offset CO₂ emissions

Reduce environmental impact without compromising on performance. That Is the idea behind the products from the ZERO Line by Mapei.

The results obtained through LCA are verified and certified by an external body by means of an EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) published with the International EPD System. An EPD documents the environmental effect of a product throughout its life cycle and, in the construction sector, are a great help to architects, design engineers and other buyers for a better understanding of the sustainability characteristics and impact on the environment of a product.

Once this figure has been calculated, Mapei offsets emissions by purchasing certified carbon credits to promote renewable energy and forestry protection projects. A commitment to the planet, to people and to biodiversity. 1 credit = 1 tonne of offset CO₂.
