“Sustainable project”: the price issue

Wednesday 13 May 2009

During the recent event, “From earth to the Earth”, an interesting meeting called “Sustainable project” took place, a meeting that was focused on the themes of bio-building, sustainable design and made in Italy products. We will dedicate some posts to reviewing some of the most crucial moments of this meeting: in this first excerpt, Davide Carra, head of and Quality systems at Gruppo Concorde (which Refin, DesignTaleStudio’s parent company, is part of) talks about the problems that a ceramic tile company could face when adopting this kind of “sustainable” approach.
