Terra Green Ceramics has been manufacturing recycled content tile since the late 1970s. All of Terra GreenÆs tile products are made with over 55% recycled glass and have SCS (Scientific Certification Systems) Certification to show for it.

They start with blended raw materials consisting mostly of recycled glass, clays, sand and feldspar, which is extruded to thickness and cut to size. The tile is then time-loaded into the kiln for firing. Terra Green uses a single, fast-fire process using natural gas in both the dryers and the kiln. In-house recycling involves two catch conveyors and a throwback conveyor which accumulate material and send it back for recycling. In addition, they use a glaze reclaimer at the spray line which separates the glaze from the water, allows clean water to run back through the system, and the residual glaze to turn to powder for proper disposal, not into waste water. Terra Green is based in Richmond, Indiana, in the heartland of America, where their energy-efficient plant fosters American jobs and uses less embodied energy and carbon footprint than imported alternatives.
