Mohawk is the largest supplier of ceramic tile in North America through our Dal-Tile, American Olean and Mohawk brands.
Ceramic Tile
Ceramic tile is manufactured from plentiful inorganic raw materials, such as clay, talc, sand and water. Even so, Dal-Tile minimizes consumption of these natural materials by using recycled materials to the maximum extent possible in 97 percent of our manufactured products. These recycled materials come from our own industrial processes, as well as external ones. Recycled content only serves to add to the environmentally friendly nature of ceramic tile. Also noteworthy, since the inert raw materials used to make ceramic tile come from the earth, they integrate well into the environment at the end of their useful life.
Porcelain/Tile
Dal-Tile is focused on new product innovation to find even more ways to utilize recycled content. For example, all Dal-Tile manufactured porcelain floor tile products currently contain over 50 percent recycled materials content, with some having over 60 percent and including post-consumer recycled materials. Ongoing R&D is expected to lead to more innovations in recycled content for tile products in the near future, particularly in the ability to incorporate post-consumer recycled materials into more product lines.
