Sustainability of Granite
Granite is an option that not only offers beauty and durability, but also benefits the environment, as it has one of the lowest carbon footprints among building materials.
When we compare granite with other building materials, its advantage in terms of sustainability becomes clear. Other alternatives are known for generating large CO2 emissions during their production, while granite stands out for its energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact.
A number of studies have shown the benefits of granite. The best known was carried out by the German Natural Stone Association (DNV) and evaluates the ecological repercussions of using natural stone, ceramic tiles, PVC, laminates and wood panelling.
This study concludes that the energy consumption costs for processing natural stone represent only 3.3 per cent of the production value. Comparing all floor coverings, we can easily conclude that those made from natural stone have a significantly lower environmental impact in their production, installation and use, compared to ceramics, PVC, laminates and wood coverings.
In the category of global warming potential (GWP), the production and use of natural stone cladding shows much lower CO2 emissions than the production and use of other cladding materials.
