Ceramic industry
Alternative raw materials for the ceramic industry
Our waste-derived raw materials replace clay in brick production and contribute to lower CO₂ emissions.
How it works
01
An alternative raw material for your brick production.
Waste-derived additives help you use harder-to-process clays.
02
With three decades of experience, we know how material properties affect your process.
Some clients have relied on our materials for close to 30 years.
03
Stone wool granulate and paper sludge replace materials like clay, with benefits for stability and pore formation.
They also help reduce process emissions such as SO₂, so your production runs cleaner.
Every tonne you replace is CO₂ you don’t emit.
We handle sourcing, quality control, permits and daily logistics by truck, rail or sea, so you can focus on your process.

These raw materials replace clay in brick production and help you work with difficult clays.
How we keep to that specification
01
Grip on the source
We source from several countries, so you never depend on one stream.
02
Our own sorting
Our own MRFs in the UK and the Netherlands sort the waste we work with.
03
Thirty years of measurement data
Three decades of data on how waste quality affects process parameters.
Doesn't fit? Then we make it fit.
Does your process need something different? We develop bespoke fuels with you, based on both the physical feeding requirements and the chemical product and emission requirements of your process.
