Presentation Transcript

  1. Crossville has become the first and only tile manufacturer in the United States to certify its waste recycling programs.

  2. Crossville now has two certified recycling processes.

  3. EcoCycle Filtrate Waste Process™ • EcoCycle Fired Waste Process™

  4. Together, these are known as the EcoCycle Recycling Processes.™

  5. Both have been certified by SCS.

  6. Beginning June 1, 2011, all products manufactured by Crossville contain at least 4% pre-consumer recycled content.

  7. This pre-consumer recycled content comes from our partnership with TOTO.

  8. TOTOis the world’s largest manufacturer of sustainable, luxury plumbing products, which has been outfitting residential bath spaces and commercial restrooms for over 90 years.

  9. Many products have more than the 4% recycled content from TOTO.

  10. This additional recycled material comes from our own EcoCycle Filtrate Waste Process™ • and our EcoCyle Fired Waste Process.™

  11. The new EcoCycle Recycling Processes™ • logo will help identify these products.

  12. A list of all Crossville products and their corresponding recycled content was included in the June 20 Weekly Update. It is also available online. http://www.crossvilleinc.com/announce/RecycledContentListing.PDF

  13. In addition to including recycled content in all products, the TOTO partnership allowed us to become a Net Consumer of Waste.

  14. This means Crossville consumes more filtrate, fired, and other • pre-consumer manufacturing waste than we generate.

  15. Additionally, this consumption of • pre-consumer waste conserves natural resources.

  16. The volume of finished goods Crossville ships now exceeds the amount of raw materials it extracts from the earth for use in manufacturing.

  17. So, what does this mean?

  18. All Crossville-manufactured products now include recycled content.

  19. Crossville has gone beyond recycled products to ensure its recycling processes are verifiable and certified.

  20. We continue our legacy of environmental stewardship and build upon it with new programs, practices and partnerships.

  21. We are the sustainable leader in the tile industry.

  22. We set the “green standard” for tile by which all other companies measure their efforts.
