Transcript of Crossville has become the first and only tile manufacturer in the United States to certify its waste...
Crossville has become the first and only tile
manufacturer in the United States to certify its waste
recycling programs.
Beginning June 1, 2011, all products manufactured by Crossville contain at least
4% pre-consumer recycled content.
TOTO is the world’s largest manufacturer of sustainable,
luxury plumbing products, which has been outfitting
residential bath spaces and commercial restrooms for
over 90 years.
This additional recycled material comes from our
own EcoCycle Filtrate Waste Process™
and our EcoCyle Fired Waste Process. ™
A list of all Crossville products and their corresponding
recycled content was included in the June 20 Weekly Update.
It is also available online. http://www.crossvilleinc.com/announce/RecycledContentListing.PDF
In addition to including recycled content in all
products, the TOTO partnership allowed us to
become a Net Consumer of Waste.
This means Crossville consumes more filtrate, fired,
and other pre-consumer manufacturing
waste than we generate.
The volume of finished goods Crossville ships now exceeds
the amount of raw materials it extracts from the earth for use
in manufacturing.
Crossville has gone beyond recycled
products to ensure its recycling processes are verifiable and certified.
We continue our legacy of environmental stewardship and build upon it with new
programs, practices and partnerships.
