Heavy Clay Day

We are organizing the “Heavy Clay Day” for the second time, with talks by high-calibre speakers on the core theme of the “Conservation of Natural Resources and Energy ­Efficiency”. The focus of the talks will be on possibilities for saving raw materials and energy in the production of heavy clay products.

One highlight of the event will be the première of an image film produced by the European working group ECTS (­European Ceramic Technology Suppliers). In this film the high quality and benefits of brick buildings are described in simple and understandable form. The aim is to further enhance the image of clay bricks and tiles, especially in developing and threshold countries. In a subsequent panel discussion, we want to discuss together with you possibilities for promoting clay brick and tiles as a building material.

Another focus at the talks will be the fact that “energy efficiency” is not only of great importance during production, but also in the use of the product and how clay bricks can hold their own in this respect.
