Renewable energy through solar panels
Renewable energies play a central role in achieving the decarbonization goals of the energy system. One of the issues surrounding renewable energies was the idea that they were less reliable than fossil fuels, but in the last years some of the renewable energy sources, reached a high technological maturity.
One of the most advanced technologies is the one of solar panels. At the end of 2021 we listed our personal ecological goals as a company, and of the steps of our sustainability path was to renovate our facility to reduce our use of non-renewable energy and reach a higher efficiency.
In this last month we have finalized the installation of our photovoltaic system. Thanks to it, we'll now be able to generate around 15% of our energy demand
We'll continue to measure our impact to strive for better solutions to constantly reduce our footprint. For all updates you can visit us here or on our LinkedIn

Our sustainable path over the past 10 years
Celebrated every year on June 8th, World Oceans Day is one more opportunity to reflect on a commitment that should be made everyday, on the community's responsibility to interact with the oceans in a sustainable way. In the occasion of the 30th anniversary, the Underwater Museum of Marseille will propose a temporary installation by artist researcher Jeremie Brugidou, on bioluminescence - a phenomenon whereby living organisms emit light through particular chemical reactions.
The artist imagined ten hermetic spheres containing bioluminescent bacteria, like ten little blue planets.
We're happy happy to have collaborated with our partner Clem (https://www.clem.be/) for the production of the spheres with our Green Cast® - 100% recycled and recyclable cast acrylic sheets.
Green Cast® a 2022 Carbon Neutral
We're happy to announce that we've added a new step to our sustainability path: Green Cast® is "carbon neutral".

We've made the concept of sustainability the founding value of our work and we try to add steps every year in order to become more and more responsible.
You can find out all about the project that led to the carbon neutrality of Green Cast® under the download section on our website: www.madreperlaspa.com/UK/download.html

Elementaria 2021
After 2 years we’re glad to go back to live events We’ll be exhibiting at Elementaria 2021, the event taking place during Viscom Italia.
Since its first edition, back in 2015, we decided to use Green Cast®, our range of 100% recycled cast acrylic sheets, for the projects development. During this 7 years path at Elementaria, our main idea was to re-think creative models from a circular point of view, through the use of a material, that beside its ease of processing and great aesthetic impact, it’s recyclable endless times without ever loosing its technical and optical characteristics; a very important point for companies and brands whose attention is on sustainability and product quality.
We’re happy that this year’s event will focus on sustainability and in particular on “sustainable brand identity”.
Come visit Us from Sept. 30th to Oct. 2nd. For more information about the event and how to partecipate, contact Us to the email address: madreperla@madreperlaspa.com
EPD – Environmental Product Declaration
Another important step in our sustainability path, which began 10 years ago on an uphill road, but which over the years has given and is giving us a lot of satisfaction.
10 years ago we decided to re-think our business model by basing the core of it on values that were and continue to be important to us, trying every day to improve, to innovate, to progress.
We have added an important step in our path, a certified EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) for our Green Cast® range, 100% recycled cast acrylic sheets.

Famous italian designer Bruno Munari exhorted to observe common objects with new eyes by changing their intended use. "Da cosa nasce cosa" (things lead to) is a book that still enchants and brings out the creativity in all of us.
