raw materials, carefully sourcing them from a responsible supplier before maximising their use and minimising their waste. For example: 100% of dry process clay is recycled through the factory; wastewater is cleaned through a centrifuge system to be reused in the manufacturing process; and 100% of unused glaze is cleaned down for reuse, as well as to prevent pollution. Churchill also ensures that only recyclable packaging is passed on to customers and 100% of the electricity used on site is now from a renewable source too. While we continuously improve our manufacturing processes to be safer for the planet, our products are also designed to ensure longevity and stand the test of time.
