The footprint we want to leave
We are committed to leaving a positive footprint on the land, and in people's homes, but also to reduce the impact of our production, which is now certified, responsible and circular: it respects the environment, work and people's health.
Sardinia Green Island Project
We have always considered the environment an asset to be protected. Today, thanks to a programme structured in collaboration with Enel X and Enel Green Power, we aim to decarbonise our production process and become the first industrial-scale example of a completely carbon-neutral ceramic firing line. An ambitious project, aiming at complete energy independence from fossil fuels.
People - Our Greatest Capital
We are convinced that responsible production must take care not only of the environment but also of people. For us, people are precious and represent our most significant capital. We are a company driven by a deep ethical and social commitment, which we integrate into our business objectives. Ceramica Mediterranea an excellence characterised by a robust value system, operating through tangible and concrete actions for the benefit of the local community.
Respect
We respect the environment by sourcing raw materials responsibly: only from local quarries that guarantee total restoration of vegetation. We equally respect people's work and health. In an area with so many fragilities, we have stimulated the creation of new jobs and developed an entirely local production chain.
Recycle
We recycle all process water by reusing it in the production cycle to minimise process and groundwater consumption.
Reduce
We reduce our environmental impact by powering our production plant with photovoltaic panels and recovering waste heat to avoid the emission of thousands of tonnes of CO2, equivalent to a forest of 27,500 trees.
Save
We minimise water consumption at every production stage by continuously upgrading the technologies at our disposal.
Recover
We recover and reuse all surplus material (production waste) and reintegrate it into the production cycle. Raw scraps also help reduce cooking temperature and energy impact, while cooked scraps improve product quality performance (strength and hardness).
Relive
We breathe life back into raw and cooked materials discarded from production by using advanced plants and processes to treat even the hardest materials, lowering disposal costs and saving on using raw materials.
From Sardinia, with passion.
For over 22 years, we have been designing authentic, versatile and durable collections inspired by the land and millenary culture of our island. We export all over the world to share, through the ceramic surface, a fragment of the Sardinian cultural heritage.
This is Ceramica Mediterranea
We are the only Italian manufacturer of porcelain stoneware made exclusively from raw materials obtained and processed in Sardinia.

Made in Sardinia
a Km zero
The raw materials are selected and extracted on-site with the utmost care to ensure a product of the highest quality and maximum strength. The clays, sands and feldspars come from quarries in the area (Ardara, Escalaplano, Ottana) and are processed in the Guspini plant in southern Sardinia.
