Reducing your carbon footprint with ORSOL: commitments and innovations
In a world where sustainability has become an unavoidable priority, companies in the construction and architecture sector play a crucial role in the fight to reduce carbon footprints. ORSOL, renowned for the quality andaesthetics of its architectural elements, stands out for its deep commitment to sustainability. At the heart of this commitment is NEOMINERAL, an innovative, low-carbon material that perfectly illustrates ORSOL’s ability to combine aesthetics, innovation and environmental responsibility.
Innovation for sustainability: NEOMINERAL
NEOMINERAL is the cornerstone of ORSOL’s strategy to reduce its carbon footprint. This material, composed exclusively of high-quality mineral aggregates, is the result of a judicious combination of a very old technique – pozzolanic reaction– and recent technologies. ORSOL has thus succeeded in producing a material that is both technical and low-carbon, offering the aesthetic qualities and strength of stone, while drastically reducing CO2 emissions.
Significant progress in reducing carbon footprint
- Reduced CO2 emissions: NEOMINERAL has emissions up to 3 times lower than terracotta and 20 times lower than imported stone over a distance of more than 500km, marking a significant step towards a local low-carbon industry.
- Eco-responsible manufacturing process: NEOMINERAL’s cold manufacturing process, based on the pozzolanic reaction, considerably reduces the material’s carbon footprint .
- Commitment to Recycling: ORSOL guarantees that 100% of the waste and water used in the manufacture of NEOMINERAL is recycled, and 100% of the waste generated when the product is destroyed is recyclable.
- Support for local suppliers: With 92% of its suppliers based in France and an average supply distance of 300 km for its raw materials, ORSOL favors short circuits and local sourcing.
ORSOL’s commitment to sustainability
ORSOL doesn’t just develop sustainable products; the company is actively committed to respecting the environment at every stage of production. By investing every year in research to improve the quality and aesthetics of its products, ORSOL makes reducing its carbon footprint an absolute priority.
A wide choice of eco-friendly products
ORSOL offers a vast choice of facing stones, with subtle nuances, textures and reliefs, in traditional or avant-garde looks, all easy to install and compatible with most substrates. These products, faithful to the aesthetic characteristics of natural stone, are also a guarantee of high performance and safety, meeting the strict requirements of the construction industry.
Towards a greener future
ORSOL’s initiative with NEOMINERAL is a prime example of how companies in the construction sector can make a significant contribution to the fight against climate change. By integrating innovation and sustainability at the heart of its strategy, ORSOL is not only preserving the environment, but also paving the way for a resolutely greener and more responsible construction industry.
