Sustainable development
Why choose natural stone over concrete imitations?
1. A naturally Eco-Friendly Solution
Unlike molded concrete products, natural stone requires no heavy processing. It is extracted, cut, and installed , no energy-intensive industrial process, no high-emission cement. The result: a significantly lower carbon footprint from the very start.
2. A Long-Term Durable and Cost-Effective Choice
Natural stone is extremely resistant to frost, salt, UV rays, and erosion. It lasts for generations. In comparison, concrete pavers or stones tend to chip, fade, or shift over time. This means fewer replacements, less maintenance, and ultimately lower long-term costs.
3. A 100% Reusable Material
At the end of its life cycle, natural stone can be recovered, reused, or repurposed in landscaping projects. No chemical treatment is required. On the other hand, fake concrete-based products often end up in landfills and are difficult to recycle.
4. A Concrete Gesture for the Environment
Choosing natural stone helps reduce your carbon footprint, supports local or regional resources (in many cases), and aligns with today’s sustainable building values.
What is an EDP?
A mark of environmental transparency
An EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) is a third-party verified document that details the environmental impact of a product throughout its entire life cycle. It is the internationally recognized standard (ISO 14025) for demonstrating a material's environmental performance.
Benefit for LEED projects
Yes , a DEP can give LEED points , depending on the version of the project (v4 or v4.1).- In general :
1 point may be earned if the team provides 20+ construction products with verified EPDs.
Products with EPD can also contribute to “Materials and Resources” credits , particularly in the categories of environmental disclosure and optimization.
