SUSTAINABLE.

Since 1901, we have been operating from our home in the Potteries’ heartland of Stoke-on-Trent, designing and making the finest selection of ceramic wall tiles, right here in the UK. Our portfolio of sustainable, British-made products is strengthened by complementary collections of porcelain and ceramic floor and wall tiles.

With 120 years’ experience, we are consistently raising the bar in terms of inspirational design, quality of service, and environmental leadership. We have been at the forefront of sustainable manufacturing for over 20 years, systematically reducing carbon emissions, cutting energy consumption, and diverting waste. Energy once represented 30% of our running costs. Our annual consumption is now down 35% per tonne of ceramic tiles, alongside saving 1,700 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year.

We're the first tile company to go plastic-free.

Our latest initiative has seen us eradicate single-use plastics within just 10 months, making us the first tile manufacturer to do so. As a direct result, our consumption of plastic has fallen from over 100 tonnes to 0 – equivalent to 1.5 million single-use bottles.

We have also carefully calibrated our ceramic recipe to ensure every tile we manufacture contains recycled ceramic material, preventing 20,000 tonnes of ceramic waste being sent to landfill every year. Additional initiatives focus on reusing waste process water, using low energy lighting, and reusing and reconditioning our pallets. These measures, amongst many others, ensure our ongoing commitment to sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint.

Here at Johnson Tiles we’re constantly improving, with a combination of ingenuity, perseverance, and skill.  We are driven to continue making – and making a difference – to ensure our setup isn’t just world class, but also having an impact on the issues that affect us all, at a local and global level.
