Sustainability
•50-65 percent post-industrial recycled content•All-natural raw materials (limestone, marble aggregate)•28% lower CO2 emissions than regular stucco•Very low VOCs (15 g/liter)By using the marble aggregate created at the legendary Carrara marble quarries, Vero lime plasters turn a byproduct into a product feature and green credential. The fine marble aggregate in these plasters helps achieve the authenticity in the limestone once applied to the wall. Even after shipping these products across the Atlantic, these products are “greener” than traditional plaster finishes, and can qualify a project for LEED points under recycled content and innovation credits.
