Mipa graniglia is composed of up to 80% recycled marble aggregate, white cement and natural mineral pigments. No synthetic binders, no printed surfaces, no ceramic firing process. The material is what it appears to be.
Marble terrazzo bound with white cement carries a significantly lower embodied carbon than porcelain stoneware or fired ceramic tile. The entire production process takes place in Italy (raw material sourcing, mixing, pressing, grinding and quality control) with a traceable supply chain.
A terrazzo floor that lasts over 50 years with standard maintenance is a more sustainable specification than a material replaced every 15–20 years. Mipa graniglia is restorable: a worn surface is re-ground and re-polished in situ, not removed and disposed of. This reduces material waste and avoids the carbon cost of replacement.
For projects pursuing LEED, BREEAM or similar certification, we can provide material composition data and production documentation on request. EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) available on request.
