The production of our extruded quarry tile creates a waste product that cannot be added, in large volume, to our existing colors. Other manufacturing processes create waste products including glaze waste and fired scrap.
Through additional blending of large quantities of these products with virgin material, we are now able to offer a product with a pre-consumer* recycled content of over 60%. ENVIROQUARRY™ meets the same tough standards as our regular quarry producst and is kiln flashed for random color variation and added appeal.
Metropolitan Ceramics® is pleased to bring to market a product that performs so well and has the potential to divert hundreds of tons of material from the waste stream.
NOTE: Because of the nature of ENVIROQUARRY™ (high recycled content) there may be some shade variation from run to run and within longer runs of the material. Flashing of the product will help in the blending of color variations, but some variation is to be expected in a product of this sort.
*Pre-consumer recycled material is a waste product of a manufacturing process, diverted from the waste stream and not normally used by industry during the original manufacturing process.
