Sustainability
as foremost priority
Mosa has designed, developed, and produced ceramic tiles in Maastricht since 1883. We enable architects and designers around the world to create signature surfaces. Sustainability is our foremost priority. To achieve this, we adhere to the Cradle to Cradle philosophy, which helps us make a positive contribution to our society, our economy, and our planet.

Sustainability and Mosa
Mosa is the first ceramic tile company in the world to have gained Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold certification for nearly its entire tile collection. Mosa’s externally-validated life-cycle analysis (LCA) supports the sustainable character of our tiles. The Cradle to Cradle label enjoys widespread recognition and contributes to positive scores for Dutch and international green building labels such as LEED, BREEAM, DGNB, and HQE. In various (inter)national databases, the impact of Mosa tiles on these sustainability labels is clarified.
Discover the potential and relevance of green building labels for architects and how to get certified.
Cradle to Cradle
From design to production process, Mosa focuses intensively on sustainability in the sense of Cradle to Cradle. On the basis of five main criteria, we strive to reduce waste, to save energy, and to take social responsibility: pure raw materials, great recycling potential, low energy consumption, environmentally-friendly water management, and good terms and conditions of employment.
Green Building Labels
Our Cradle to Cradle products contribute to a healthy indoor climate and are VOC-free. In addition to having positive national and international material scores, our products contribute to building labels such as LEED, BREEAM, DGNB, and HQE. This underscores our commitment to looking beyond tiles.
EPD
Environmental Product Declaration
Mosa has an externally validated lifecycle analysis (LCA) conducted in accordance with the European Standard 15804+A2(based on ISO 14040 & ISO 1404), which provide full transparency on the environmental profiles of our tiles. On the basis of this analysis, Mosa was granted an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for its wall and floor tiles.

Sustainable projects
Respect for people and the environment is paramount in the development of sustainable buildings. Sustainable buildings are more energy efficient to use. And often they are healthier for residents and users. Below are some examples of sustainable construction projects in which Mosa tiles have been used.
