ecofriendly tilesEco friendly tiles create stunning interiors, over any imagination. The tiles can offer many possibilities to create hallways and canopies. The eco-friendly tiles create structural quality and a real environmental philosophy.

Made of ceramic, glass, or stone, tile has unrivaled durability. It works in high-traffic areas such as entries, kitchens, and hallways. Manufacturers now offer more floor tiles with the look and color range of stone, ceramic tile, terracotta, or terrazzo, but with recycled content.

Recycled-content tile makes use of otherwise wasted by-products diverting glass, used tiles, granite dust, stone tailings, or unfired material from landfills and offsetting its high “embodied energy” cost (price of energy required to get a product from its source).

In the last two to three years there has been an explosion of new products on the scene, many being made from recycled materials derived from wood, glass, metals and more.

Most recyclers collect materials in a range of colors because that is what we as consumers are turning in to our local recycling centers. As a result, recycled product manufacturers are able to produce finished products with more variety and color that simply can not be found in regular production materials.
