Saxa Gres and the challenge of the circular economy

People, Profit, Planet, the three pillars of corporate sustainability in the Triple Bottom Line model, could be engraved on the innovative GrestoneTM cobblestones that since April have been emerging from the kiln in the Saxa Gres group’s factory in Roccasecca (Frosinone). This new production activity is the latest milestone reached by the group set up by Francesco Borgomeo in 2015 when he acquired the first manufacturing facility, the former Marazzi Sud factory in Anagni (Frosinone), and converted it to the production of sustainable, patented extra-thick porcelain for outdoor and urban design applications. These ceramic products reproduce the aesthetics of natural stone but are made from a body mix containing up to 30% inert materials originating from urban waste and inert incinerator ash.
