At DBL Ceramics, we believe waste should never be wasted. Everyday, our factory recycles water used in production. But this process leaves behind residue clay—a material that can’t be dumped in landfills without risking health and environment.
Instead of letting it go unused, we asked a simple question: What if this clay could help make education more sustainable?
Once upon a time, classrooms ran on chalk and slate—simple, reusable, and harmless. Today, learning depends heavily on single-use, non-biodegradable materials:
At the same time, the local chalk industry in Bangladesh is struggling, as raw material prices skyrocketed in recent years. Schools, especially underserved ones, are left behind.
After six months of research, we discovered our residue clay could be transformed into classroom chalk. We partnered with local chalk manufacturers to create a formula that is:
The chalk is then distributed through education NGOs to underserved schools across Bangladesh. Already, ChalkTiles has reached over 4,000 schools, turning waste into opportunity.
Every broken tile, every drop of water, and every bit of residue clay has the power to change education. By adopting ChalkTiles, you can turn waste into a brighter, more sustainable future for children everywhere.
