Betty,
Most people get confused in the tile world on the term “GREEN” This is a short version that could go on for days, Years ago I had made tile so I think I do have some what of say in this matter { I lost more money on that venture then I would like to say} TILE IS A GREEN MATERIAL So here you go let me know if you agree
Is it ‘green’ or greenwashing?
Greenwashing is a term that has been used for over twenty years to deceive consumers into thinking a product is more ‘environmentally friendly’ than what it really is or what a company’s environmental practices really are. Tile is indisputably ‘green’ in nature, because it is made from minerals, stones and clays from the earth, however, greenwashing still runs rampant through the tile industry. While there have been many successes in the tile industry, environmental claims have been over stated. The most common forms of greenwashing in the tile industry are:
* Inflated recycled content claims without proof.
* Inaccurate information about the manufacturing process.
* Claims that products are LEED approved or recycled without independant certification.
It’s important to understand projects, not products, are LEED certified. You need to ask critical questions to ascertain the true eco value of the material.
* Most importantly, is the product independently certified by a third party?
* What is the origin of the raw materials in the tile?
* Does the manufacturer use renewable energy sources? What are their conservation practices?
* What air quality emissions are produced in the manufacture of the tile? Does it have VOCs?
* Do they reclaim any waste material?
* What is the actual recycled content percentage? Is it post-industrial or post-consumer?
* Where is the tile produced and how far does it travel to get to its final installation destination?
Third party verification is the most transparent way to prove a tile’s ‘green-ness.’ These are companies such as Greenguard, Veritas, Greenseal and Scientific Certification Systems. Aside from providing a contribution to the quality of life, verification assures that products are made with resources that have been carefully managed, gives you the personal knowledge that you’re doing the right thing. It is important to understand that green building projects have direct & indirect liability based on product selection and without diligence the project certification can be compromised.

Dear Joe and all at Artwalk Tile,
I received my 9 bullnose REX HORN LIGHT tiles yoday and would like to thank you for a great service! I am very greatful for your fast reply to my initial inquiry, great packing, and superfast delivery. The shipping charge was a little higher than I anticipated, but overall grade is 10 out out of 10.

Dear Joe and everyone at Artwalk Tile,
I wanted to thank you for your wonderful and professional customer service. I purchased a beautiful limestone tile at the beginning of the year, installed it and only recently realized I needed just one more piece to finish a door threshold I overlooked. Joe went through the trouble of sourcing me just one more 24″x24″ piece, had it cut in half and sent it down to me ASAP.
It is refreshing to know that in this day and age of impersonnal internet shopping there is a real person on the other side making sure that customers are happy with their products.
Thanks again,
Paula
