Recyclable
Ceramic is recyclable
Ceramic is recyclable. Some floors are recyclable… as long as the layers they are made of are separated one by one. But ceramic does not contain plastic and is homogeneous and recyclable.
Collecting waste materials and sending them to recycle centres so that they can be given a new lease of life is one of the most urgent needs of our society, which uses too many raw materials and often releases waste directly into the environment.
Ceramic is an inert material composed of natural elements such as clay and water, and can be easily recycled and reintroduced into the production cycle.
