Kiln-free recycled tile startup agrees pilot deal with major UK supplier

Dekiln, a Manchester-based startup, has partnered with Johnson Tiles to initiate a pilot project aimed at scaling up its innovative low-carbon technology for producing ceramic-like tiles from waste without the use of energy-intensive kilns. The trial manufacturing site will be established in Stoke-on-Trent, a city renowned for its historical significance in the British ceramics industry.

This collaboration is significant as it represents a potential shift towards more sustainable practices within the ceramics sector, which has been facing challenges. By leveraging Dekiln's technology, the partnership may help revitalize the struggling industry while promoting environmentally friendly manufacturing processes.
