BIOGAS
At LOHAS Australia (Life of Health and Sustainability) our major focus is sustainability and we act responsibly to ensure our future generations have the same opportunities as we do today.
Our efforts are aimed at supporting sustainable growth within the design and architecture realm.
The ecological characteristics of LOHAS Modern, Roman Handmade and Flexbrick is observed during the manufacturing process and this process portrays its differential value. The intrinsic natural properties of the ceramic and the innovative production method makes these bricks a sustainable option as biogas is its main fuel.
The manufacturing process is completed using the clean fuel Biogas, that reduces environmental pollution throughout the process, resulting in an ecological and environmentally friendly product. The use of Biogas prevents the emission of some 16,700 Tm/year of CO2 into the atmosphere. Additionally, Biogas represents 90% of the energy consumed during the production process and with a goal to further continue to increase this percentage.
Biogas fuel used during the production process comes from the treatment of organic waste buried under layers of clay in the Can Mata landfill, located in Barcelona by Piera Ecoceramic. The production process is efficient and technologically innovative resulting in the highest quality of facing bricks, known for the high-performance, variety finishes, multiple colours and formats.
