Sustainable Metallization: The Evolution of Material

Metallization is Materica’s flagship technique—a process that gives new life to materials without compromising sustainability. Unlike other treatments, our low-impact technology allows wood, fabric, and other surfaces to be coated with thin layers of metal, improving their resistance and longevity without relying on plastics or polluting treatments. This technique reduces the need for replacement and extends the lifespan of objects, minimizing waste and resource consumption.

Eco-Friendly Coatings and Waste Reduction

Materica is transitioning to the use of low-VOC (volatile organic compound) coatings, reducing the emission of harmful substances into the environment. Additionally, the introduction of an automated water-based painting system will further optimize production processes, cutting down on waste while ensuring a high-quality finish with minimal environmental impact. Thanks to these measures, we estimate up to a 30% reduction in solvent emissions and a 25% decrease in paint consumption, contributing to a safer work environment and a more sustainable production process.

Sustainable Design and Technological Innovation

Sustainable design plays a key role in Materica’s approach, influencing every stage of production to reduce resource consumption without compromising aesthetics or product functionality. Every design choice is made to enhance durability, reusability, and minimal environmental impact, proving that sustainability can be seamlessly integrated into the world of design and architecture.

Beyond material considerations, we are investing in robotic systems to optimize production procedures, reducing processing times and costs while improving overall energy efficiency. This approach allows us to maintain high-quality standards while minimizing waste and energy use.

Conscious Made in Italy: Quality and Responsible Craftsmanship

We believe that local production is a valuable asset for sustainability. Our supply chain is entirely Italian, ensuring high-quality standards, transparency in processes, and reduced emissions related to transportation. We collaborate with selected partners who share our values, promoting a production model based on the synergy between technological innovation and artisanal tradition.

Towards a More Sustainable Future

Materica’s goal is to continue innovating by developing new solutions that combine aesthetics and sustainability. We are constantly refining our production processes, investing in research and development to further reduce environmental impact and offer increasingly high-performing and eco-friendly materials.

In the coming years, our commitment will focus on:

• Optimizing production processes to reduce resource consumption;
• Increasing the use of recyclable materials and eco-friendly finishes;
• Adopting new technologies for even more efficient and sustainable production.

Our mission is to transform the world of design and architecture through a responsible approach, where beauty and sustainability can coexist in perfect harmony.
