CAM and UNI/PdR 88 certifications
The integration of Minimum Environmental Criteria in construction is a key step towards a more sustainable future: companies in the sector play a crucial role in providing certified materials that facilitate the implementation of eco-compatible practices in construction, contributing to environmental protection and people’s well-being.
UNI/PdR 88:2020 is a standard that defines the requirements to verify the amount of recycled, recovered, and by-product material present in products, and represents a clear and consistent tool aligned with environmental regulations and existing technologies.
The UNI PdR 88 certification can be useful for accessing public tenders that follow Green Public Procurement (GPP), aligning with the circular economy, demonstrating the company’s commitment to environmental sustainability, proving compliance with the Minimum Environmental Criteria (CAM) of the Ministry of the Environment, and adhering to building sustainability protocols.
They apply to all phases of a construction site, from design to management.
The Minimum Environmental Criteria (CAM) play a fundamental role in promoting sustainability in the Italian construction sector. Introduced to guide public procurement towards ecologically responsible choices, the CAM establish specific environmental requirements for the entire life cycle of buildings, from design to construction, up to management and maintenance.
The adoption of CAM in construction brings numerous advantages:
- Reduction of environmental impact: the use of eco-compatible materials and sustainable construction techniques helps reduce pollution and natural resource consumption.
- Energy efficiency: buildings designed according to CAM feature high energy performance, reducing consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
- Indoor environmental quality: attention to air quality and natural lighting ensures occupant well-being, improving quality of life.
- Economic value: sustainable buildings tend to have higher market value and can benefit from tax incentives and reliefs.
Our company offers innovative solutions that comply with the required environmental standards, contributing to the realization of sustainable buildings.
The certifications obtained by Azichem attest to our commitment to providing high-quality and low environmental impact products, supporting designers and builders in adopting CAM.
In order to comply with the requirements of UNI PdR 88, Azichem has implemented a thorough system for supplier qualification, traceability of raw materials, and verification of the correct calculation methodology (mass balance) used to determine the recycled and/or recovered content.
In this way, compliance with the UNI PdR 88 standard is integrated with the company’s ISO 9001 quality system, through a process that starts from the composition recipe, continues with the continuous monitoring of production processes, and ends with the quality control of finished products.
Azichem has already obtained CAM certification for many products.
