STONEPEAK SUSTAINABILITY
StonePeak & The Environment
Nature is the source of inspiration for our work and is the sole provider of all material we use in our manufacturing cycle.Therefore respecting and protecting nature is a vital part of our philosophy. Or, rather, it is a necessity, because by respecting and protecting nature, we respect and protect ourselves. In StonePeak’s state-of-the-art production facility in Crossville, Tennessee, we produce sustainable, green, environmentally friendly porcelain tile with a process that reduces, reuses and recycles. This is the best way we know to express our thankfulness to our Planet.
STONEPEAK CREAMICS -THE GREEN CHOICE
“Global warming potential and fossil fuel depletion throughout the full life cycle of a product are key metrics in characterizing carbon footprint. Not only does the North American industry-wide EPD for ceramic tile evidence a generally low carbon footprint, it also shows ceramic tile to have the lowest overall impacts in photochemical oxidant creation (smog), ozone depletion, acidification, and eutrophication potential when compared to publicly available EPDs for competitive flooring materials,” said Bill Griese, TCNA’s Director of Standards Development and Sustainability Initiatives. “Ceramic tile is the proven green choice for the good of the environment.”
