ecorevo, a line of ecological tiles developed by X-iS, utilizes the technology cultivated through 25 years of research into recycled tiles. It utilizes recycled materials such as molten slag—a waste product reduced in volume and rendered harmless by a high-temperature melting furnace—along with waste glass, ceramic scraps, and ash emitted from biomass power plants. The result is tiles with a 95% recycling rate.

Tajimi City, historically one of Japan's leading producers of ceramics and tiles, has a rich production heritage. However, with the economic slowdown and the depletion of clay resources, there is now an urgent need to develop alternative materials that do not rely on natural resources.

In 2019, X-iS established a new research and development center, 'X-iS Lab'.

In response to the growing interest in ecology and the SDGs, we will continue to develop sustainable tiles that contribute to creating a circular economy, while further enhancing our production system.

One of the solutions we've developed to address the challenges facing Japan's tile industry and the global waste crisis is the creation of 'recycled tiles.'

What ecorevo strives for is an environmentally sustainable societal model: 'the circular economy.' A circular economy minimizes waste by keeping resources in use for as long as possible, reusing them, and transforming waste into value, creating a society that is gentle on the Earth's environment.

Through our work with tiles and our long involvement in architectural projects worldwide, we believe our contribution to the future of society lies in the development of high-quality recycling technologies and the creation of a new economic model for tile manufacturing.

Currently, we are collaborating with municipalities and companies that share our philosophy to advance the research and development of recycled tiles, with the goal of realizing a circular economy.
