In reflection to the growing awareness about the environment,
Fireclay Tile says it continues to increase the sustainable materials and practices
in their tile designs.
Its Debris Series Recycled Tile now
contains over 62% recycled materials. “Its unique clay body contains more
post-industrial and post-consumer waste than any other tile on the market. The
result is a high quality clay body with a warm red-brown hue that is truly
beautiful, unique, and sustainable,” the company notes.
The Debris Series uses all locally
sourced recycled materials and California Clay. The waste glass is made up of
baghouse dust collected from local glass recyclers; the granite dust from a
neighboring granite quarry, and the spent abrasives from the cleaning of pipes
that transport water to the City of San Francisco. All products are
manufactured within Fireclay's day-lit, open-air factory that recycles all
possible used materials, including clays, glazes and water.
