Sustainability in practice
[ our ethos ]■
At KAZOKU Tiles, we are proud to blend Japan's rich ceramic heritage with forward-thinking sustainability practices, creating tiles that honour tradition while protecting our future. We’re dedicated to preserving Tajimi City’s renowned ceramic craftsmanship while minimising our environmental footprint through responsible, eco-conscious production.
[ SUSTAINABILITY practices ]In line with our sustainability mission, we’ve developed an innovative recycling program that reuses tiles that don’t meet quality standards. Instead of discarding these tiles, they’re ground into powder and incorporated into future production. By reintroducing these recycled materials, we significantly reduce waste and contribute to a circular economy.
Hydropower and Solar Energy
A significant part of our sustainability journey lies in our commitment to renewable energy. Our facilities are powered entirely by hydropower, resulting in a near-zero CO2 emissions process that drastically reduces our carbon footprint. Hydropower enables us to operate with high efficiency while protecting the environment.
In addition to hydropower, our Sugy facility supports its operations with solar energy, providing around 80% of its electricity. The Hatsu series tiles from Sugy are crafted using 52% recycled materials, exemplifying our commitment to eco-conscious building materials.
