Building a sustainable future together

FROM NOW YOU CAN PLAY A PART

Now you can also choose products with CO2 emissions fully offset.
Choose sustainability for all your projects, with Mapei.
CO2 emissions measured throughout the life cycle of products from the Zero line in 2024 using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, verified and certified with EPDs, have been offset through the acquisition of certified carbon credits in support of forestry protection projects. A commitment to the planet, to people and to biodiversity. For more details on how emissions are calculated and on climate mitigation projects financed through certified carbon credits, click here.

Sustainable, CO2 offset products

The residual CO2 emissions from the products of the new Mapei ZERO line are fully offset; a commitment to quality that enables the construction and sustainable renovation of existing buildings, with an eye toward future generations, the well-being of the planet, and those who inhabit it.

How do we measure 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 analysis of the life cycle of a product is an evaluation of the environmental impacts the product has throughout all the various phases of its life, from cradle to grave: from extraction of the raw materials that make up the formula to their transport to the production plant, the production cycle, product packaging, waste materials, transporting the finished product to the distributor and its final disposal.

How do we certify the values?

The results obtained through LCA are verified and certified by an external body with an EPD, or Environmental Product Declaration. An EPD shows the environmental impact of a product during its life cycle.

How do we calculate the amount of CO2 to be offset?

Once the amount of CO2 has been calculated and expressed in kg CO2eq/kg of product, this figure is multiplied by the amount in tonnes of product sold.

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
