• No waste water results from the manufacturing process.
• Heat given off from the kilns is recovered and re-used as a heat source for the dryers.
• All fired ware which is not packaged as 1st quality product is re-ground, categorized by color, and becomes an integral ingredient for subsequent product batches.
• Cartons contain the highest % of recycled material available. All cartons are recyclable.

"If you want a floor to last forever, TerraTile is the right choice.  Quarry tile has been around for hundreds of years because it is the best and most beautiful floor solution! It is used in Historic California Missions and car showrooms, swimming pool patios and kitchens, both commercial and residential.  Our store has had over 4 Million visitors and every one of them has passed over an unsealed TerraTile floor that still looks like it did when it was new."
