Terra Green Tile is composed of 55% post-industrial recycled glass. Used for interior, non-structural surfaces such as countertops and cabinets.
RESOURCES
The tiles are made from 55% recycled glass, and the remaining mass of the tiles is made from natural day (far less than typical ceramic ties) Terra Green Ceramics source and produce within the U.S., and raw materials are recycled mostly from aircraft windshields.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Tiles are produced in an energy-efficient heat fusion process where scrap is captured and recycled in-house. The single fastfire process (the merging of dryers and the kiln) reduces energy consumption.
Fusing recycled glass requires less energy than manufacturing with virgin glass. Terra Green reclaims glaze and recycles wastewater.
HUMAN HEALTH
Terra Green tiles are made from recycled glass and natural clay, and emit no VOCs. The manufacturing process is designed to have zero negative impact on the environment and human health, including the health of Terra Green employees and people living in surrounding communities.
SOCIAL EQUITY
Terra Green ensures that their manufacturing facilities have no negative impact on the environment or community surrounding the plant, and provide a safe, healthy working environment for local residents. Once the raw material is shipped to the manufacturing site, production is local to their factories in Tennessee and Indiana.
