- Sustainable paving tile'De Duurzame Tegel' is a sustainable paving tile made with the bottom ash left over after incinerating household waste. Currently, 15 per cent of sand and gravel in the concrete is replaced by bottom ash, and the aim is to make that 30 per cent in the future, about 15 paving tiles per person in amount of waste. It is created by Dutch waste processing companies AVR and Renewi, and tile manufacturer De Hamer.
- Plasma Rock Tilbury tilesPlasma Rock Tilbury Tiles are made from plasma gasified waste from landfills near Tilbury, UK. Plasma gasification is a pioneering technology in which any material from landfills can be heated to such temperature that it renders all known substances to (plasma) rock and gas. The low carbon Tilbury Tiles are made from 100% Tilbury waste and are created by a local tile company.
- Jute Wall tilesLaura van de Wijdeven used a waste material from Forbo Flooring to create wall tiles. The tiles are made of 50% Forbo jute fibre and 50% porcelain plaster. Jute fiber is the only waste material in the production process of Forbo linoleum. By combining it with porcelain plaster, the fibres is transformed into very strong tiles with distinct patterns.

- Plynyl floor tilePlynyl floor tiles use additives which allow easy installation and increase sustainability ratings. The tiles can be easily installed using hook-and-loop fastenings with conventional low-VOC releasable adhesives. The yarns used are phthalate-free and made with at least 25% renewable vegetable compounds.
- Compact TileThis cement-bonded tile differs from conventional marble composite tiles in the fact that it is made using a new manufacturing method: vibro-compacting under vacuum.
- Skip TileSkip Tile is at least 95% waste-based and produced with a unique energy- and water-saving process, making it easily one of the most sustainable ceramic tiles out there. Spray drying is skipped, and a low-energy dry granulation process is used instead. This reduces CO2 emissions more than 50%, compared to the average traditional product.
- Rebbur TileRebbur Tile is a sustainable surface material developed by combining natural rubber with underutilized resources such as tea leaves, seaweed scraps, eggshells, wood chips, stone powder, and iron powder. It transforms industrial and food-production waste into a functional design material, supporting circular material development while maintaining a warm and tactile quality.
- 3D Printed Urban Ceramics 4D TileThe 4D Tile is an innovative 3D printed ceramic tile conceived as a 4D building element, designed to interact over time with water, climate, and living nature. Measuring 8x8 cm and crafted in durable stoneware ceramic, its sculptural geometry is engineered to capture rain and retain ambient moisture, creating ideal conditions for local moss to thrive.
- Oer TilesIn this project, designers Kirstie van Noort and Lotte de Raadt developed new ideas for the use of iron sludge in ceramics and tiles. Iron sludge is a residual waste product from water production in the Netherlands. The designers ended up in developing a line of wall tiles in different shades that can be used in sustainable architecture.
