The Panot del Segle XXI incorporates improvements in circularity, installation, and environmental performance, while respecting the visual identity that characterizes the streets of Barcelona. Manufactured with recyclable materials and low-impact processes, it integrates a flexible and draining installation system that facilitates its adaptation to different urban environments. Breinco thus offers a versatile solution designed to meet the current demands of public roads, from roadways to pedestrian and drainage areas.
Lower emissions, higher circularity
The adaptation of the Panot del S. XXI to current sustainability criteria is reflected in a carefully optimized composition, which allows for a reduction of up to 43.41% in CO₂ emissions compared to the traditional model. This improvement is due to:
- The incorporation of up to 40% recycled aggregates
- The use of locally sourced and fully recyclable materials
- A significant reduction in cement content
Furthermore, the paving stone is 100% recyclable and, thanks to its flexible installation system, it can be easily reused, making it a solution aligned with the principles of the circular economy. These data are backed by an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which certifies its environmental impact throughout its life cycle.
Flexible installation: Modular, reusable, and draining
The Panot del S. XXI is installed without mortar, on a sand or gravel base, which facilitates:
- The reuse of the pieces
- Improved ground permeability
- The integration of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS)
Additionally, it incorporates spacers (VS4 and VS5®) that ensure a solid fit and add anti-vandal resistance.
A pavement that improves air quality
As an option, the paving stone can incorporate Air Clean® technology, a photocatalytic solution that:
- Helps to reduce air pollution
- Eliminates bacteria and fungi
Tested by the Valencian Institute of Microbiology (IVAMI), this treatment turns each piece into an active element for the health of the urban space.
Design that also reduces noise
The redesign of the flower (the characteristic symbol of the panot) incorporates small modifications in the depth and width of the grooves that allow for a 19% reduction in acoustic pressure, with improvements of up to 14.3 dBA against wheel noise.
This improvement makes the panot an ideal choice for streets and squares with high pedestrian or vehicular traffic, increasing acoustic comfort without sacrificing its visual identity.
The Panot del S. XXI represents a coherent and necessary evolution: a pavement designed for cities seeking to be more sustainable, more comfortable, and more resilient, without losing identity or character.
