Crossville’s latest recycling program reaches new milestone

HomeNewsCrossville’s latest recycling program reaches new milestone

Crossville, Tenn.—Crossville has recycled 14,255,082 pounds of fired porcelain in 2014, bringing the company’s cumulative recycling total to nearly 53.5 million pounds since the 2009 launch of the Tile Take-Back program and subsequent TOTO USA recycling partnership.

These recycling initiatives are based on the company’s proprietary process for recycling fired porcelain products including post consumer materials. Through Tile Take-Back, Crossville is able to recycle previously installed tile collected from its distribution network as well as scraps that result from tile cutting during installation, sizing or sample creation. Through its TOTO partnership, Crossville receives pre-consumer fired porcelain toilets that do not meet quality standards; prior to the partnership, these cast-offs were being sent to landfills for disposal.
