Sleek and sustainable – Cosentino coffee table furthers green charity

Walking the talk

Cosentino is proud to be a global, family-owned Spanish company specialising in the production and distribution of innovative, high-quality surfaces for the architecture and design sectors worldwide. 

The company works alongside its customers and technology partners to deliver high-value design solutions, inspiring the lives of many, with the aim of making the world a better place.

And of course a key part of this is Cosentino's strong focus on sustainability – here are some diverse examples of Cosentino displaying its diligent green thinking and helping to make the world a better place.

Silestone – reinvented with green technologies

• Cosentino’s focus on sustainability has seen the company reinvent Silestone to be made with Hybriq+ technology.
• Silestone is the most sustainable and cutting-edge hybrid surface of premium minerals and recycled materials.
• It is made from a minimum of 20% recycled materials such as glass, a maximum of 40% crystalline silica, using 100% certified renewable electricity and 99% recycled water.

Dekton – carbon neutral, zero waster

• Dekton by Cosentino has carbon neutral certification from manufacturing to end-of-life through UN-recognised projects with a high positive social and environmental impact.
• In addition, Cosentino participates in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), a not-for-profit charity that scores companies on their decarbonisation strategy and ESG policy through transparent disclosure of the corporate strategy
• It also has Zero Waste certification, which guarantees the recovery of more than 90% of the waste generated in the production process.

Latest resources and focussed reuse

• Cosentino endeavours to harness all resources and find new uses for waste, as well as creating new infrastructures and sustainable ties – from a self-consumption photovoltaic plant (a benchmark in Spain) to a new waste recovery centre.

• It's not surprising that Cosentino received the Forbes – Credit Suisse Sustainability Award in 2022.

Green as the sea

• The global company collaborates with Equilibrio Marino, a non-profit environmental organisation comprised of divers, scientists and sea lovers that works to restore and preserve marine ecosystems – Cosentino's work with them helps to clean up the Mediterranean sea.

In New Zealand ... hands-on clean up 

• In New Zealand, the local teams participate in beach clean ups and other environmental projects.

Contribution to the Seascape charity – care for our oceans

• To support a local environmental charity, Live Ocean Foundation recently, Cosentino NZ commissioned a custom-made coffee table to be designed and made by New Era Tiling.
• The finished product was auctioned for $6,000 and the proceeds went towards the charity’s Seascape project, a pioneering photogrammetry innovation, which allows scientists to create high-res, 3D models and landscape-scale maps of the seafloor.
• This project is trialling in Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf and aims to gather more accurate science that helps us to understand the effects of climate change on the oceans.

• The coffee table was fabricated in Pietra Kode’s Gk07 Ceppo, a Dekton product that is carbon neutral from cradle to grave.
