• Laminam has led the way to a photovoltaic system being installed on the roofs of its two Fiorano Modenese plants

• Over a year, this photovoltaic system guarantees the production of around 1,050 GWh, thereby enabling the company to produce 10% of its energy requirements

• In terms of CO2 reduction, Laminam’s photovoltaic roof system eliminates the release of 525 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere annually

• Member of the Green Building Council Italia, this Italian association of manufacturing leaders strive to transform the building market towards environmental sustainability and to build livable communities. Partners of GBC Italia promote environmental, economic and social responsibility by innovating the way in which buildings are designed, built and used.

Laminam is a dynamic, flexible and rapidly growing company that makes recycling and sustainability its duty.

The revolutionary tile panel produced by Laminam does not neglect environmental friendliness: natural raw materials, sustainable technology, entirely recy-clable products are at the heart of the company’s green philosophy. Laminam is associated with the Green Building Council: created with natural materials, the tile panel does not release any substance into the environment and unbacked can be easily milled and recycled in other production cycles. Laminam tile panels are produced adopting sustainable technology which respects the entire ecosystem and is designed to reduce processing waste to a minimum and to limit the use of resources.
