Climate change, going green, sustainability initiatives, green economy, recycling investments…these are just a few of the many terms used somewhat interchangeably as manufacturers define how their processes interact with the environment. So, how is a true eco-leader defined? How can eco-leadership change our world? Eco-leaders utilize new technologies and align technological and environmental networks through people who place environmental values at the heart of their leadership tasks.
Crossville was recently chosen as an Eco-Leader by Green Builder Magazine. The publication based its selections on the Platform for Accelerating the Circular Economy’s DISRUPT directives, which include:
- Design for the future
- Incorporate digital technology
- Sustain and preserve what’s already there
- Rethink the business model
- Use waste as a resource
- Prioritize regenerative resources
- Team up to create joint value
Environmental impact continues to be an important issue at Crossville. When the company began 30 years ago as a tile manufacturer, the focus on sustainability efforts was because we wanted to do the right thing for the environment.
“Crossville’s commitment to sustainability is the standard-bearer for the domestic tile industry. We continue to be focused on leading the industry in sustainable initiatives for making porcelain tile as green as possible by ensuring material health and following high standards for responsible resourcing and conservation, as well as using recycled content in production,” said Lindsey Waldrep, VP of Marketing.
