Hindware, an established brand from HSIL Limited has been awarded Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment (GRIHA) certification. It is a first, in the tiles category in the market.
Rajesh Khanna, Head – Tiles, HSIL Limited, said, “We at Hindware recognise our role to reduce the consumption of natural resources, vital to sustain life. Thus it is a proud moment for us to receive the GRIHA certification. This national recognition is an affirmation of our efforts to recycle, re-use and lessen the environmental pollution at every stage of tile manufacturing and be at par with the
requirements of a green building.
GRIHA is a green building evaluation system that has been conceived by TERI and developed jointly with the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India. It is a rating tool that helps people assess the performance of their building against certain nationally acceptable benchmarks by evaluating the environmental performance of a building holistically over its entire life cycle, thereby providing a definitive standard for what constitutes a ‘green building’.
GRIHA has included Hindware’s Portinari range made in Brazil and Europe, the Lavigare range (digital), Multi-charge range, Stain Free Soluble Salt range, TechGranit Full Body Vitrified tiles, Exterio range & HD Digital Ceramic Wall range under the GRIHA Criterion 17 and SVAGRIHA Criterion 12. This accomplishment has asserted the fact that Hindware tiles are environmentally sustainable products and meet the GRIHA parameters to support the cause of green buildings. These products can be used in the GRIHA and SVAGRIHA registered projects as they meet the GRIHA and SVAGRIHA norms as well by consumers adopting a green cause.
