Description of the project:

The LIFE CERSUDS project - Filtering ceramic floors aims to develop a drainage system, based on ceramic products, for use in urban areas. It seeks to increase the capacity of cities to adapt and mitigate climate change, promoting the use of sustainable infrastructure in urban planning. This project consists of a permeable surface, whose “skin” is constituted by an innovative system, with low environmental impact, built using ceramic flooring stocks of low commercial value. It will help to reduce the amount of these ceramic materials currently stored, giving them a new use.

Objectives:

It is expected that this system can reduce runoff water by about 90%, allowing its reuse in irrigation, in addition to mitigating diffuse pollution and improving water quality compared to traditional systems.
