G3NIUS is an advanced ceramic tile technology developed by Gresmalt to deliver high-performance porcelain tiles with a significantly lower environmental footprint. What makes G3NIUS unique is its integration with DYCTA, a proprietary digital system that monitors environmental, social, economic, and technical data in real time throughout the production process. This enables continuous optimization and eco-design based on life cycle thinking. G3NIUS tiles, available in reduced thicknesses of 6.0 and 7.4 mm, reduce the use of raw materials, energy, and water while cutting CO₂ emissions by up to 32%. The lighter format also improves installation and logistics efficiency, allowing up to 20% more surface area per shipment. Fully certified by third parties and already available on the European market, G3NIUS offers a new generation of sustainable, traceable, and durable ceramic solutions for modern construction and responsible living.

The Environmental Benefits

• •G3NIUS tiles are made with at least 20% recycled raw materials, reducing the use of virgin resources and supporting a circular economy. This helps preserve natural deposits and cut environmental impact at the sourcing stage.
• •With a reduced thickness of 6.0 and 7.4 mm, G3NIUS tiles use less raw material and energy during production. This results in a 32% lower carbon footprint compared to traditional 9 mm tiles, while maintaining high technical performance.
• •The G3NIUS process reuses 100% of its wastewater and is powered by DYCTA, a digital system that tracks energy, emissions, and water use in real time—allowing continuous improvement and transparent, certified sustainability.
• •G3NIUS reduces energy use through thinner tile formats (6.0–7.4 mm) and optimized firing, lowering fuel consumption. This results in a certified 32% reduction in GHG emissions compared to standard 9 mm tiles.
• •The carbon footprint of G3NIUS is 0.746 tCO₂-eq/100 m² (cradle-to-gate), versus an industry average of 1.1 tCO₂-eq/100 m², as certified through ISO 14067-compliant CFP and verified by third-party audits.
• •By reusing 100% of wastewater and reintegrating ceramic scrap, G3NIUS avoids emissions from waste treatment and virgin raw material processing, further reducing lifecycle CO₂ impacts beyond energy use.
• •G3NIUS reduces extraction of virgin materials by incorporating up to 20% recycled inputs. This lowers pressure on quarries and ecosystems, preserving soil integrity and natural habitats in mining regions.

The Financial Benefits

• •Decrease in environmental externalities (= estimated economic value of environmental damage) by at least 20%.
• •The reduced thickness of G3NIUS allows 20% more tile surface per shipment, lowering transport costs per square meter and improving warehouse efficiency for distributors and large-scale projects.
• •Easier and faster installation thanks to lighter tiles and rectified edges reduces labor time, with estimated cost savings of around 10% compared to standard 9 mm porcelain tiles.
