Sustainability

Saving the planet, one tile at a time.

For us, being ecologically responsible is more than just a fad, we’ve made it a core value at Ceramic Industries. Our team has set themselves the difficult challenge of producing thinner tiles that are as strong and durable as the existing range.

Commitment & Innovation

We've developed a production technique that uses less clay in the manufacturing process to produce a lighter tile with all the strength and resilience of its predecessors.

Introducing our EcoTec range. a leap forward in sustainable manufacturing.

A consequence of this innovation is a reduction in gas emissions from the kilns, reduced packaging needs and lowered transport emissions, thanks to the lighter product. We’re a proudly South African company, using locally sourced raw materials, a homegrown team and a commitment to sustainability.
