SUSTAIN YOUR WORK
We Sustain Our Operations Through Circularity and Long Product Life Cycles. We protect our life resources through recyclable materials, use of local resources, waste management, and long-lasting products.
Our products, backed by outstanding durability and exceptional lifetime edge-chip warranty, extend product life and delay their disposal. The longer our products are used, the longer they stay out of the waste cycle.

Collections with EPD Certification
With our recycled porcelain collections that reclaim waste from the production cycle, we’ve proven our commitment to sustainability and our dedication to measuring and reducing the environmental impact of our production.
What is EPD?
EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) certification is given by The International EPD System. Our collections Cras and Ground, which are produced from recycled porcelain waste, were sent to The International EPD System for analysis and as a result of the reports, our collections were awarded the certificate. You can access detailed analyses of this highly transparent certification in the EPD Library section of The International EPD System by entering our EPD number in the search field. EPD No: 17302

We define energy efficiency as reducing energy consumption per unit of production without compromising production quality or volume. In alignment with global climate action, we aim to implement energy efficiency programs and increase the use of clean and renewable energy sources, thereby maintaining a low-carbon footprint and supporting the well-being of our planet and all living things.

Our Bilecik Warehouse and Logistics Center, which meets environmental sustainability criteria, received LEED Gold certification, proving that it complies with green building standards.
