Agricultural and zootechnical residues into technical materials for green building

EDIZERO produces highly efficient technical materials for green building, starting from the use of a multiplicity of agricultural and zootechnical residues (wool, cork, hemp, straw, rennet, etc). Thanks to a strong synergy between the agricultural and the industrial sector, EDIZERO brings an excellent example of short supply chain in the regional bioeconomy (most of the the biobased raw materials used are produced in Sardinia) and of maximum energy savings and environmental respect (all the material is processed without hot fixing and without thermo-ties). Recycling residual biomass is actually an advantage for both the agricultural sector and farmers, who avoid the cost of disposing of agriculture residuals, and for the industrial sector, that avoids the purchase of expensive and polluting raw materials. EDIZERO has activated several production lines that transform around 120 different residues materials into various biomaterials with a high degree of efficiency and sustainability. In particular:

•        EDILANA: transforms craps of wool, cork and hemp into materials for bio-building such as: renovation, acoustic and thermal insulation, historic architectural restoration and eco-design for internal and external design.

•        GEOLANA and ORTOLANA: transform raw materials from sheep’s wool and plant derivatives into materials for: environmental remediation, depollution, environmental engineering (containment, restoration, re-naturalization of landfills), agro-technics (soil protection and regeneration).

•        EDILATTE: produces building materials such as skimming, sanitizing, anti-spasm and water repellent paints obtained from agrifood processing waste (fruit, vegetables, beer, wine, vinegar, olive oil, milk, etc.)

All bioproducts have Environmental Ethics Certification.

The motto of the company is to transform the waste into raw materials and the surplus of productions into technological excellence. To reach this goal, the company has undertaken years of research and experimentation activities for technological innovation. The productive chain activated by EDIZERO - due to the positive effects on the territory in environmental and social terms - constitutes a valid model to be replicated
