Sustainability with MAPEI - Delivering Projects with Offset CO2 Emissions

Now you can 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.

How is CO₂ measured?

CO₂ emissions from our products are expressed in kg CO₂eq/kg of product and are calculated using standardized 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 are the values of LCA measured?

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.

Mapei offsets the CO2 residual emissions generated by all activities involved in the production of its products through reforestation projects and biodiversity conservation.

Introducing Keraflex Maxi S1 Zero (Grey)

MAXI performance, with CO2 fully offset in the entire life cycle.

Special high performance, deformable, non-slip grey 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.

Advantages:

• Residual Greenhouse Gas emissions fully offset through the acquisition of certified environmental credits
• Very low emission of VOC
• Less dust given off while mixing – Low Dust Technology
• Zero drop in high thickness
• Excellent workability
• Deformable
• Ideal for installing large formats
• High bond strength
• High thixotropy

KERAFLEX MAXI S1 ZERO is part of the CO2 Fully Offset in the Entire Life Cycle line of products. 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.
