Kaisersesch, November 28, 2024 — The CLASSEN Group has received the coveted Solar Impulse Efficient Solution Label for CERAMIN®. This award recognizes CERAMIN as one of the most efficient solutions for the construction and renovation industry.

A standout feature of CERAMIN Flex is its “Red List Approved” classification under the “i-13 Red List” criteria of the International Living Future Institute (ILFI). This means that the product contains no substances of concern that would need to be flagged on the Red List and that are known to pose serious risks to human health and the entire ecosystem. This is a significant advantage over PVC products, which, due to their ingredients, can only achieve the “Declared” classification.

“We could have also chosen the ‘Red List Free’ label, but that would have required full disclosure of all ingredients,” explains Sebastian Wendel, sustainability officer at the CLASSEN Group. “For reasons of trade secrets, we decided against it. With the ‘Red List Approved’ classification, up to 1% of the ingredients remain confidential, while still being subject to the ILFI’s strict Red List criteria. In our case, only 0.76% of the ingredients are kept confidential, as can be seen in the label’s detailed list.”

The decision to adopt the “Red List Approved” label underscores the CLASSEN Group’s commitment to meeting high standards of product transparency and performance without disclosing business-critical information.

CERAMIN Flex not only offers an alternative to conventional flooring but also meets the high standards of the commercial market in terms of quality and durability.
