At the beginning of Cersaie 2010, in the article “Water, a species in danger of extinction”, Novoceram announced its intention to reduce water consumption by about 30% by the end of 2010 with respect to 2009 consumption. In the spring of 2011, this prediction was exceeded by a wide margin - the actual saving was in fact nearly 40%! Excellent news for Novoceram which invested heavily to achieve this result.

The reduction in [...]

Seventy one per cent of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, but 97.5% is salty.  Of the remaining 2.5%, only 1% can be used for human activities.  Of this 1%, 93% is used for agriculture.  If all the Earth’s water was placed in a bucket, only a coffee spoon would be drinking water.

Agriculture absorbs 69% of all the world’s water consumption, while domestic use accounts for 10% and industrial use for [...]

After Ecolabel certification, Novoceram has recently obtained ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001:2004 certification.

ISO 9001:2000 defines a series of standards for quality system management conceived for use in all types of organisation, irrespective of the size, type or sector.  The idea is to define the requisites an organisation must respect to manage company processes in order to make them more effective and improve the efficiency of the organisation. The objective is to [...]

The visit to Novoceram’s factory at Champblain was one of the four afternoon appointments for each of the more than 600 guests at Métamorphose from Monday 8 to Friday 12 June.

Although part of the normal programme of customer visits to the company headquarters, proposing them during this event had a particular significance for Novoceram.
It is precisely the metamorphosis in the production process during the last few years which has already brought Novoceram [...]

What is the European Ecolabel?
Since 1992, Ecolabel has been the European environmental quality mark, awarded to products with a low environmental impact throughout their entire lifecycle from extraction of the raw materials through the complete production and distribution process up to disposal.

Novoceram has no doubts: everyone in their own small way can make a contribution to protecting the environment. Starting with the small gestures.
Together with  ECOLABEL certification of its products and opening of the ISO 14001 procedure, Novoceram also wants to set an example by working actively to prevent deforestation. This is why to mark the opening of its temporary shop, the appropriately named “Echappée Verte”, Novoceram undertakes to plant a tree in [...]

This year, for the Echappée Verte temporary shop in Paris, Novoceram entered into a close relationship with some of [...]
