Earth Tatva works to reduce mining for natural resources by 60% and lowering energy consumption through recycling fired ceramic waste.

They believe every consumer should be able to carry on with their daily activities without worrying about the potential negative impact of their choices on the environment by offering recycled products.

Earth Tatva's recycled ceramic tableware is stronger than the conventional material, 100% recyclable and aesthetically pleasing. They are selling their designs to costumers seeking a green and sustainable lifestyle and to luxury hotels and organic food cafes with ambitions to lower their carbon footprints. With a patent pending, Earth Tatva hopes to license out their innovation in material use to other manufacturers and scale their efforts to reduce mining.
