DNA URBANO * stone italiana | silvia dalla valle

DNA Urbano fits perfectly into the green philosophy that has always paid attention to environmental issues in the production process and is continuously searching for new, eco-friendly, low-environmental impact alternatives for the building industry. The main component of DNA Urbano surfaces (between 75% and 55.7%) consists of street sweeping debris, that is, gravel that builds up along the pavement edges. The debris is properly treated and converted into salvaged material and thus becomes a new raw material that allows for energy savings, recycling and lower waste disposal costs. In fact, it is estimated that approximately 4% of all waste generated in Italy consists of debris from street sweeping operations. If all of that debris were recovered, the relevant landfill disposal costs would be eliminated.
