Lunch and Learn with Fireclay Tile

Fireclay has been reinventing, redefining, and radicalizing the industry. As the first tile company to be certified as a Benefit Corporation, Fireclay is proud to continue standing on their founding principals. They do this by committing to using sustainable manufacturing practices, using recycled materials, and taking care of their employees—all the while, putting the customer first.

For Fireclay, making tile is about more than just playing with color. It’s about the earth. They dig their hands into the dirt and feel a connection to the past, to our history, and to our need for shelter. Clay is one of the oldest building materials known to man, yet somehow, it continues to surprise us every day.

There’s only one earth, so Fireclay treats it that way. This means a ruthless examination of their materials and how they manufacture. They buy used, they repurpose, they take care of what they have, and they use recycled materials whenever possible. It’s not easy, but it’s the challenge that makes us all the more creative, innovative, and self-reliant.

Fireclay is made in the USA, and 66% of their products are made from recycled materials. They are a certified B-Corp who are committed to sustainability and using recycled content in their products.

Come hear from them- and lunch will be served!
