Granby Workshop has introduced a new tile range made from recycled glass, using a manufacturing method that cuts carbon emissions compared to traditional ceramic tiles. The tiles are designed for use in buildings and offer a lower carbon alternative for architects and specifiers looking to reduce embodied carbon in construction projects. The workshop is known for its community-focused production in Liverpool, and this launch adds a practical low-carbon material option to the market. The new method reportedly reduces the energy needed for firing, since recycled glass melts at a lower temperature than raw clay. This directly cuts the carbon footprint of each tile. For architects and builders tracking embodied carbon, this kind of material innovation matters because it tackles emissions at the manufacturing stage rather than relying on offsets later. The range gives specifiers a tangible product to specify when they need to lower the upfront carbon of a project without switching to an entirely different material category.
