Sustainability | Tile

As we all know, there are a lot of sustainable materials and finishes on the market today. One product we find ourselves using constantly is tile, and luckily for us, there are lot of tile manufacturers committed to sustainability! There’s a common misconception that eco-friendly products are substandard to their traditional counterparts, but this is completely false. There are tons of amazing sustainable tile lines available on the market today!


Many beautiful tiles are made with recycled content! The collection seen here are recycled-content tiles from Crossville. In addition to manufacturing these eco-friendly materials, the company also maintained net zero waste consumption at their plants for the last 8 years!


Another initiative we love is Cradle to Cradle (C2C). It promotes materials that can be 100% recycled or upcycled at the end of their life, eliminating waste in a products’ lifecycle. Mosa is the first ceramic tile company to gain Cradle to Cradle Silver certification for the majority of it’s products.  We love their commitment to sustainability and their tiles as well!


We’ve always loved using Fireclay Tile’s beautiful products, but more than that Fireclay is a very sustainable company! As a B Corporation, they’re committed to the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance. You can learn more about B-Corps here and see how Fireclay is implementing those values within the company here
