Facade System (Mosa), Ceramic Tiles - Cradle to Cradle Silver

The Mosa Facade System, made of ceramic tiles, has received the Cradle to Cradle Silver certification. This certification evaluates products based on their performance in five categories: Material Health, Material Reutilisation, Renewable Energy and Carbon Management, Water Stewardship, and Social Fairness.

This solution is designed for easy disassembly and reusability, making it a sustainable choice for building exteriors. The system uses mechanical fasteners to mount ceramic tiles onto a lightweight ventilated facade. The mechanical fasteners allow for easy removal and replacement of individual tiles, without damaging the surrounding tiles or the building substrate. This means that the facade system can be easily updated or repaired without generating waste.

The Mosa Facade System is available in two different types of fixations: visible and concealed. The visible fixation system features a stainless steel bracket that is visible on the surface of the facade, giving it a distinctive look. The concealed fixation system, on the other hand, features a hidden bracket that is not visible on the surface of the facade, giving it a more seamless appearance.

Material Health, the certification ensures that the product has been designed with materials that are safe for human and environmental health. This includes the absence of harmful chemicals and the use of materials that can be reused or recycled.

Material Reutilisation evaluates the product’s potential for reuse and recycling at the end of its useful life. The Mosa Facade System has been designed to be easily disassembled and its ceramic tiles can be reused in other applications.

Renewable Energy and Carbon Management evaluates the product’s carbon footprint and its use of renewable energy sources. The Mosa Facade System is manufactured using renewable energy sources, and its carbon footprint is minimized through efficient production processes and the use of local materials.

Water Stewardship evaluates the product’s impact on water resources. The Mosa Facade System uses a closed-loop water system that minimizes water consumption and pollution.

Social Fairness evaluates the product’s social impact, including labour practices and community involvement. The Mosa Facade System has been designed with fair labour practices and engages with the local community to promote sustainability and social responsibility.

The Cradle to Cradle Silver certification of the Mosa Facade System demonstrates its commitment to sustainable design and production, and its positive impact on human health, the environment, and society.
