Porcelanosa Group- Ston-Ker® Ecologic-need to respect the environment and save energy.

The need to respect the environment and save energy as priorities compelled Porcelanosa Group to unite time, effort and technology in its search for materials in which recycling contribute to bring about a world ruled by values which bring industry and nature closer together. In this line of research and business, Porcelanosa Group has created the range Ston-Ker® Ecologic, the result of 30 years of improvements in the productive system of Porcelanosa Group, always concerned with and involved in the care of the natural environment. Ston-Ker® Ecologic is made from pre-consumption recycled materials that are reincorporated into the production process. This makes for a substantial reduction in raw material consumption and a significant energy savings. Thus, the manufacturing process of these tiles draws on practically all first-generation, untreated shard (both neutral and coloured), as well as the dust emissions from the pumping of depuration systems, so as not to generate waste products which would have to be subsequently treated and managed. Ston-Ker® Ecologic has the Green USA Building, Ecotech Porcelanosa Group and Network Riba Providers certificates.
This initiative is not merely a market strategy, since it has intensified a search of technologically state-of-the-art products combined with the most innovative designs and the reliability of the Porcelanosa Group’s business philosophy.


Ston-Ker® Ecologic, in its four models of the Trafic series, is one of the Group’s great novelties. Like the rest of the series, Sand Trafic, highly resistant, offers quality. These ceramic tiles are ideal for both interior and exterior coverings, including those in highly-transited areas. Anthracite Trafic brings out a refreshing contrast in spaces, and it has, as the rest of the models in this series, an anti-slip version suitable for wet areas. Silver Trafic and Steel Trafic reflect in their colours the high precision, strength and modernity of a brand linked to environmental values. It is noticeable that all the water used in the manufacture process of Ston-Ker® Ecologic comes from Porcelanosa’s water depuration systems.
