Updated Sustainability CEU from Daltile

DALLAS – Daltile’s Commercial team is now launching an updated continuing education unit (CEU) on tile’s role in sustainability.

“The Tile Industry & Green Building” will focus on the ways tile can contribute toward green-building certifications. 

“Sustainability is a major focus for our commercial customers,” said Whitney Welch, Dal-Tile Corp. vice president of commercial sales.  “As the largest manufacturer and marketer of tile in North America, we have the resources and influence to lead by example with eco-friendly choices. 

“Our tiles are made from only natural materials: water, clay, sand, feldspar and other minerals,” Welsh added.  “With over 98% of our manufactured tile products containing some level of pre-consumer recycled materials, we have helped prevent an average of over 175 million pounds per year from ending up in our nation’s landfills. 

“Additionally, nine of our 12 North American manufacturing plants recover and reuse 100% of the wastewater generated by the manufacturing process.  In one year, we can recycle over 100 million gallons of water.  In addition, our tile contains zero VOCs, PVCs, phthalates, asbestos, or formaldehyde.”
