CLASSEN Group receives Solar Impulse Label for CERAMIN®

Kaisersesch, 28 November 2024 - The CLASSEN Group has received the prestigious Solar Impulse Efficient Solution Label for CERAMIN®. This award recognises CERAMIN as one of the most efficient and sustainable solutions for the construction and renovation industry.

A decisive factor for the award is the high percentage of post-consumer recycled materialwhich is reused in the production of CERAMIN. The consistent integration of recycled raw materials not only returns valuable material to the cycle, but also significantly improves the carbon footprint. Compared to conventional materials, CERAMIN saves a significant amount of CO₂ and thus actively contributes to climate protection.

CERAMIN® is not only impressive because of its properties as a PVC-free and fully recyclable flooringbut also through its long-term environmental benefits, which clearly set it apart from conventional products. With its unique properties, CERAMIN offers a sustainable and innovative solution that will transform the construction and renovation industry in the long term.

The Solar Impulse Label, given by the foundation of environmental pioneer Bertrand Piccard, honours solutions that combine environmental sustainability and economic efficiency. This recognition will help us to further strengthen our position in the largest international construction markets and pave the way for environmentally friendly innovations in the construction and renovation industry.

With CERAMIN, the CLASSEN Group is once again emphasising its commitment to sustainable solutions and demonstrating that forward-looking innovations and resource conservation can go hand in hand.
