Problem Addressed
Earth Tatva works to reduce the mining of natural resources by up to 60 percent by recycling post-industrial fired ceramic waste into a ceramic material. By re-using ceramics that do not biodegrade for centuries, Earth Tatva aspires to achieve zero-waste manufacturing, adhering to the principles of the circular economy.
Technology
Earth Tatva procures post-industrial fired ceramic waste and uses it with pure clay that acts as a natural binder. It works with mono-material, which one can use for many production cycles without downgrading its quality. On the contrary, it keeps getting better. The material has also been tested by the Ceramic Research Institute. These materials are 35 per cent stronger as per the reports.
Societal Impact
Earth Tatva can develop any product from waste material. Though ceramic does not affect ecology adversely, it just lies there like a dead weight, unutilized. Earth Tatva is solving this massive waste problem.
Current status
They have started with making recycled ceramic tableware. These are 100% food-safe, as the team does not use any heavy metals for their glazes. More than 1200 products sold. They have a patent granted.
