MVB’s MANGIASMOG® floorings are characterized by special Green Active mixture, represent an active and certified solution for the reduction of pollution, and is the perfect choice for the realization of urban spaces where traffic and climate changes have a significant impact on carbon dioxide emissions into the environment. GREEN ACTIVE flooring, in fact, absorbs the pollutants present in the air and then releases them in the form of new purified particles.

Advantages of green flooring
Choosing Green Active flooring brings multiple advantages from the point of view of reducing the impact on the environment and improving air quality.
MANGIASMOG® action
Thanks to the titanium dioxide contained in the flooring, they can accelerate the oxidation reactions of pollutants.
Anti-Odor Action
It’s due to the decomposition of substances containing sulfur and nitrogen, preventing the formation of mold and bad odors.
Antimicrobial action
It’s effective in eliminating bacteria and fungi that can attack surfaces.
MANGIASMOG® technology
How does it work
The particular GREEN ACTIVE mixture of MVB pavers, containing Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) with catalytic action, carries out a disintegration action of fine dust, nitrogen, carbon and sulfur oxides (generated in urban environments by car exhausts and heating systems), transforming them into substances that are harmless to men’s health and the environment.
The photocatalytic action of GREEN ACTIVE has been tested in laboratories with CNR approved equipment. The test results showed a reduction of the polluting agent NOx (nitrogen oxides) of more than 80%.
| Polluting Agent | GREEN ACTIVE REDUCTION % |
|---|---|
| Fine dust | -47% |
| NOx Nitrogen oxides | -67% |
| SOx Sulfur oxides | -47% |
| Total aldehydes | -64% |
| Nitrates | -74% |
| Yeasts and molds | -44% |
Furthermore, the effectiveness of photocatalytic binders in reducing nitrogen oxides present in the environment was also measured in the open field through the monitoring of over 1.000 hours in various projects made with MVB flooring.
The results obtained, although they differ slightly from those found in the laboratory due to the influence of atmospheric agents and different environmental and geographical conditions, are remarkable, especially considering the conditions of solar radiation and the number of hours of winter light during which measurements were carried out.
The reduction of pollutants was significant for all the main substances, as well as for mold and bacteria.
