CN-2

Incoming social and technological challanges compel a further reduction of energy consumption and CO2 emissions to get an overall improvement of efficiency in the manufacturing of silicate ceramics. This session will take stock of the situation on best available technologies and processing innovation in ceramic tiles, sanitaryware, glazes, pigments and clay bricks. A special focus will concern health and environmental issues (e.g., emissions, crystalline silica, green certificates) and all aspects of waste management/recycling in the silicate ceramics industry.
