Environmental Responsibility Statement: Tiles by Mimi

Environmental Responsibility Statement

Ceramic tile is by nature environmentally friendly, as it is a natural product made up of clay, a number of other naturally occurring minerals, and water.
The durability of tile also contributes to its eco-friendliness; a properly installed ceramic tile floor will outperform and outlast nearly any other floor covering product created for the same application.
Ceramic tile does not retain odors, allergens, or bacteria.
Tiles by Mimi uses only lead-free, non-toxic glazes.
The shipping boxes used by Tiles by Mimi are recyclable.
Styrofoam peanuts are recycled and reused for packing purposes.
Tiles by Mimi uses paperless statements and correspondence
The Tiles by Mimi studio is clean and I use green cleaners.
The Tiles by Mimi studio was built from many reclaimed materials - such as my wainscoting that was made from reclaimed lumber - originally bleachers in a high school that were being thrown away.
The Tiles by Mimi studio uses only low energy fixtures and lights: T-8 fluorescent with electronic ballasts.
My programmable temperature controls and "power downs" during heat waves, which helps control Tiles by Mimi's energy usage.
All possible used products are recycled.
Tiles by Mimi strives to buy, sell and use environmentally friendly products.
All federal, state and local environmental laws are carefully followed to ensure compliance.
