The growing scarcity of natural resources demands new strategies in the industrial sector, where sustainability plays a central role. At Microcrete, we value responsible practices, using local materials and developing innovative solutions that respect the environment. We continuously invest in research and development to minimise the use of harmful substances and toxic solvents, from the design to the production of our materials.
Commitment to Sustainable Life Cycle
We have adopted the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) system throughout our production chain. This system analyses the environmental impact of our products, onsidering energy and raw material consumption throughout their entire life cycle. This commitment allows us to develop products with less environmental impact, promoting more conscious and efficient production.
Baixo e Zero COV
Our products stand out for their low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) content,contributing to the reduction of indoor air pollution and mitigating the negative impact on climate change and human health.
Natural pigments
The colouring of our microcement is obtained through natural pigments, incorporated directly into the powder, ensuring that the final shade corresponds exactly to the one chosen.

The natural pigments used are substances derived from organic or mineral sources that give colour to the material without the need for synthetic compounds. These pigments are extracted from clays, metal oxides, charcoal, or other natural raw materials. These pigments are highly stable and resistant to light and wear, making them ideal for long-lasting applications.
Local Suppliers
We prioritise local and nearby suppliers, reducing emissions associated with transport and strengthening the local economy.
Gestão de Resíduos
A Microcrete atua ativamente na redução e reaproveitamento de resíduos. Um exemplo é o Mclay, um dos nossos produtos inovadores, composto por cerca de 90% de resíduos provenientes de fábricas de cerâmica e da indústria de produção de argila expandida.
