Dutch Tile Firm Mosa Awarded Cradle-to-Cradle Challenge Award

Maastricht, Netherlands, December 13, 2017-Mosa, a Dutch porcelain tile manufacturer, has been awarded the Cradle-to-Cradle Challenge Award in Gold by the Environmental Protection Encouragement Agency.

The Cradle-to-Cradle Challenge Award was presented to the 130-year-old ceramic tile manufacture last month at the EPEA's headquarters in Hamburg, Germany by Professor Michael Braungart.

A panel of 20 top international architects chose Mosa as the winner from a group of international brands representing building materials. The architects evaluated the complete sustainability strategies of companies, rating the production with climate-friendly raw materials as well as a low water consumption, energy, and the waiver of harmful substances. They also rated how companies reduce waste to a minimum and re-integrate it into the production process.
