Abundant raw material

Clay is an abundant raw material that naturally exists in the environment.
Cermer works with natural clays, which are abundant in nature and is easy to extract from open-cast quarries that are then later transformed into wetlands, becoming natural sinks for carbon dioxide.

Recycling

Consumers worldwide are becoming increasingly aware of how their lifestyle choices impact the environment. Recycling has become an essential part of our lives and is a natural way for earthenware to contribute to the shift towards a circular economy. Ceramic ware waste can be transformed into ceramic chamotte that can be used again in the manufacturing of ceramic ware or used for other purposes such as roads, civil construction works, tennis courts or bricks.
