Cosentino's HybriQ® Technology: Pioneering Sustainability in Surface Design
In an era where sustainability is not just a preference but a necessity, Cosentino stands out as a beacon of innovation and environmental stewardship in the surface design industry. The introduction of HybriQ® technology by Cosentino marks a revolutionary step forward, combining aesthetic appeal with an unprecedented commitment to health, safety, and environmental sustainability.
A New Era for Silestone®
HybriQ® technology represents a radical transformation in the composition and manufacturing process of Silestone®, Cosentino's flagship product. This new approach significantly reduces the presence of crystalline silica, a substance associated with health risks such as silicosis, bringing it down to safer levels comparable to those found in natural stones like granite. By doing so, Cosentino addresses a critical health and safety concern while maintaining the beauty, durability, and technical performance that Silestone® is known for.
Commitment to Sustainability and Innovation
HybriQ® and HybriQ+®, its advanced version, showcase Cosentino's dedication to environmental responsibility. These technologies utilize a hybrid formulation of raw mineral materials, quartz, and recycled materials, dramatically cutting down the quartz content. This shift not only ensures a safer product but also contributes to a circular economy by incorporating at least 20% recycled raw materials into its composition. The process behind HybriQ® technology is equally commendable, employing 99% reused water and 100% renewable electric energy, achieving zero water waste in its production. Such initiatives underline Cosentino's role as a leader in sustainable manufacturing, setting a benchmark for the entire industry.
A Bold Response to Market Demands
The launch of Silestone® collections featuring HybriQ® technology, such as the Sunlit Days and Ethereal lines, is a response to the growing consumer demand for sustainable products. These collections not only boast a reduced environmental footprint but also offer a range of design options that do not compromise on aesthetics or functionality. Cosentino's efforts have positioned the company as the only manufacturer in the industry taking such a significant initiative towards reducing quartz content and promoting sustainability.
Looking Towards a Greener Future
Cosentino's journey towards sustainability is far from over. With the introduction of HybriQ® technology, the company has set a new standard in the industry, proving that it is possible to create beautiful, durable, and sustainable surfaces without compromising on quality or design. This move towards greener materials and processes is a testament to Cosentino's commitment to innovation, health and safety, and environmental stewardship.
