May 25th 2011: Koninklijke Mosa bv and Cradle to Cradle®

Guest lecture by Dorien van der Weele

Room: OH112

Sustainability is a cornerstone of Koninklijke Mosa bv’s mission and principles. This is an intrinsic element of a sustainable product such as tiles and of the operations of a quality-conscious company of the nature of Mosa.

Now, 99% of all Mosa tiles are certified Cradle to Cradle® Silver. The certification procedure addresses five main criteria: raw materials, recycling potential, energy consumption, water management and working conditions. As a result, Mosa is the world’s first ceramic tile factory to receive Cradle to Cradle® certification. However, this does not imply that our work is finished: quite the contrary, in fact, since we perceive Cradle to Cradle® certification as an incentive for further innovation in the development of ceramics systems. Consequently, Mosa signed an organisational charter at the beginning of 2011, as a result of which Mosa has been assigned the Cradle to Cradlev Charter Organisation label that specifies Mosa’s continued endeavours to implement the Cradle to Cradle® philosophy in our company’s products and processes.
