A Manchester-based startup that makes ceramic-like tiles from waste without needing an energy-hungry kiln has teamed up with one of the UK’s biggest tile suppliers to launch a pilot project to scale up the technology.
DeKiln, run by the biomaterials engineer Aled Roberts, is joining forces with Johnson Tiles to set up a trial manufacturing site in Stoke-on-Trent, the historic home of British ceramics.
The tiles developed by Roberts and a team of four look like conventional ceramic tiles, but are made from recycled plaster or gypsum waste and plant-based binders, and are cured (hardened) on a drying rack at 35C.
