How Do We Turn Defective Formed Clay Into Recycled Resources?

Nowadays, environmental protection has become a global focus, with more and more attention paid to resource conservation and sustainable development. As a company committed to green production, we have been exploring effective ways to practice environmental protection. When it comes to the issue of waste clay generated in the production process, how do we turn it into a valuable resource and contribute to environmental protection? Let's take a look at our practices.

 

From "Waste Clay" to "New Materials" 

We recycle substandard clay in full process during eco-friendly production, reducing waste and demonstrating our commitment to sustainability.

 

Waste Clay Recycling: Closed-loop Process

Previously, defective or ill-sized formed clay were mostly treated as waste. Now, these "problematic formed clay" are put into dedicated workshop recycling carts, transported to the processing workshop regularly, and turned into standard clay after crushing, impurity removal and aging, realizing resource recycling.

 

This model brings significant benefits: 

  • 300 tons of waste clay recycled annually (saving 200 tons of high-quality kaolin), 

  • 8% lower raw material costs,

  • 150 tons less carbon emissions yearly,

  • saved waste landfill fees. 

Technical Assurance: Quality Uncompromised

3 guarantees ensure recycled clay quality:

1. Fine screening with magnetic separation and laser particle size monitoring;

2. Scientific proportioning (recycled clay ≤30% when mixed with new clay);

3. Additional cold-heat shock and flexural strength tests.

Relevant products have passed EU LFGB certification, matching the quality of those made from new clay.
