SUSTAINABLE BY DESIGN

It takes a visionary to see potential where no one else does. By accepting rejected materials, we work hard
to find ways to make them useful. Is it hard? Yes. Is it worth it? See for yourself.

 A History of Innovation
We are scavengers at heart and scrappy when it comes to saving resources. We constantly strive to find new and
innovative ways to reuse cast off materials.

1988
Fireclay Tile develops lead-free glazes while maintaining the depth and luster of traditional leaded glazes, becoming the first tile company to
introduce 100% lead-free glazes into their product line.

1999
New raw materials are sourced. Granite dust and glass dust from post consumer bottles are used in 50% of raw materials in Fireclay Tile's first
recycled body, the Debris Series.

2010
Partnership with McNear Brick & Block, the country’s oldest continuously operating brick manufacturer located in San Rafael, CA, allows for
the introduction of glazed thin Brick made of 100% reclaimed earth.

2010
PRODUCTS INSPIRATION Search Colors, Photos & More ABOUT TRADE (/COMMERCIAL)
Fireclay Tile acquires Sandhill Industries of Boise, Idaho to secure resources for its recycled glass tile made in the USA. Fireclay Tile moves its
production operations to Northern California, where there is a larger population base and local supply of raw materials from pre-consumer
and post-consumer glass sources.

2011
Addition of post-consumer porcelain from Northern California water conservation initiatives increases post consumer content to over 70%.
35% of the clay body consists of reclaimed porcelain.

2012
Fireclay Tile partners with CalRecycle to develop a process to use Solyndra glass tubes as a raw material for Glass tile.

2013
Fireclay Tile becomes the only company to recycle panel glass from CRT, the first 1/2" section of optical glass used in older computer
monitors and TV sets. A material that would have otherwise been sent to the landfill, CRT is incorporated into an innovative and award-
winning line of glass tile.

Sustainability Beyond the Dock

RECYCLED PACKING MATERIALS

Green goes beyond the factory. All orders are packaged for shipment using 100% recycled boxes, re-used shipping crates, and sawdust from
a local furniture manufacturer.
