Kiln-free recycled tile startup agrees pilot deal with major UK supplier

Manchester-based Dekiln agreed a pilot deal with Johnson Tiles to scale low-carbon tile production in Stoke-on-Trent. The startup's kiln-free technology uses recycled waste and plant-based binders, cured at 35 Celsius instead of 1,000 Celsius, cutting energy costs by over 90 percent. The partnership aims to revive UK ceramics manufacturing, battered by soaring energy costs since Russia's Ukraine invasion.
