Iris Ceramica was the first Italian firm to obtain certification from the ANAB (Italian association of eco-friendly architecture), guaranteeing that its products comply with international bioconstruction standards.
What’s more, the entire production operation has obtained ISO 9001 quality management and ISO 14001 environmental management certification, and certification of conformity with the European Union’s EMAS Quality and Environment regulations. Iris Ceramica products have been certified compliant with the requirements of the Green Building Council’s LEED sustainability protocol. Iris Ceramica is a full member of the Green Building Council Italia.
All this is because, in the eyes of the company’s founder, Romano Minozzi, the equation ECOLOGY=ECONOMY continues to apply as never before, in the context of the constant prioritisation of Quality, meaning first and foremost the quality of life of each of us. Further absolute proof of this is provided by the latest innovation Iris Ceramica has launched on the market: ACTIVE Clean Air & Antibacterial Ceramic™. This is a production methodology involving the application of micrometric particles of titanium dioxide, which exploits photocatalysis to allow the production of ceramic slabs with real anti-polluant and anti-bacterial properties, that make an effective contribution to improving quality of life. ACTIVE is a revolutionary breakthrough: inert ceramics become eco-active.
