Perspectives
Writing this article was a pleasure, as I did it with two colleagues with whom I have collaborated for a long time. It also allowed me to focus on the ceramic cluster of Castellón, Spain, where I had the pleasure of working in the past. It gave me insight into how this industry could combine ecological and financial results.
