The Sustainable Choice

Compared with natural stone and even just on its own merits, porcelain, sintered stone and ultra-compact materials are the smarter environmental choice. To start, it’s created with zero-waste manufacturing. It’s a man-made material created from responsibly sourced natural raw materials like clay, sand, and feldspar, the three most abundant minerals on earth. During production, no waste or byproducts are created, nor plastics or resins used or generated. Porcelain also can be recycled through basic grinding and used as clean fill for more porcelain. The U.S. Green Building Council recognizes porcelain as an environmentally friendly product. Porcelain is a man-made material that promotes sustainability and is not mined from mountains, unlike granite or marble.
