Transcript of Crossville now has two certified recycling processes .
Crossville has become the first and only tile
manufacturer in the United States to certify its waste
recycling programs.
Crossville now has two certified recycling
processes.
• EcoCycle Filtrate Waste Process™
• EcoCycle Fired Waste Process™
Together, these are known as the EcoCycle Recycling
Processes.™
Both have been certified by SCS.
Beginning June 1, 2011, all products manufactured by Crossville contain at least
4% pre-consumer recycled content.
This pre-consumer recycled content comes
from our partnership with TOTO.
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.
Many products have more than the 4% recycled content from TOTO.
This additional recycled material comes from our
own EcoCycle Filtrate Waste Process™
and our EcoCyle Fired Waste Process. ™
The new EcoCycle Recycling Processes™ logo will help identify
these products.
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.
Additionally, this consumption of
pre-consumer waste conserves natural
resources.
The volume of finished goods Crossville ships now exceeds
the amount of raw materials it extracts from the earth for use
in manufacturing.
So, what does this mean?
All Crossville-manufactured products
now include recycled content.
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.
We are the sustainable leader in the tile industry.
We set the “green standard” for tile by which
all other companies measure their efforts.
