Background:

70 % of the waste are recycled in the current products.

Some waste are difficult to recycle in the current products and

process (changes in the product properties and manufacturing

problems):

Hard residues (fired scraps)

Waste with soluble compounds (dust from the kiln filters and

polishing sludge)

Objectives:

To achieve zero-waste in the manufacture of ceramic tiles.

The strategy consists of:

Developing a new ceramic tile, consisting mainly of

waste, for outdoor applications.

Designing a sustainable process based on dry milling and

granulation technologies.

Expected results:

To demonstrate the feasibility of achieving zero-waste in

ceramic tile manufacture.

Manufacturing the new tile will provide:

65% saving in water consumption

30% saving in energy input

30% reduction in CO2 emissions

During the life span of the project:

5% reduction of annually generated waste

20% reduction in waste disposal at landfills
