Go a little greener with beautiful tiles created with reclaimed and recycled materials
There's so much information about green products out there, it can be overwhelming to sort through it all. Since I am obsessed with tile, I thought I would explore some eco-friendly options and share my favorites, as well as what I have learned. Here are some things to consider when selecting a more earth-friendly tile:
- Is the product made with recycled materials and if so, what is the percentage?
- Is the product made with abundant or sustainable materials?
- Is the company making efforts to to minimize waste and reduce energy during manufacturing?
- Is the company making efforts to use green business practices?
Today, let's take a look at some beautiful options I found and see what makes them greener.
