SOMANY Ceramics recently collaborated with Manipal University on a project titled “Transforming Broken Tiles into Trendsetting Style.” This innovative initiative aims to promote recycling of waste tiles into pieces of art and captivating murals, fostering a culture of sustainability while addressing waste reduction.
As part of the project, 40 talented architecture students from Manipal University showcased their art and technical expertise in repurposing discarded tiles into breathtaking works of art. This initiative serves as a testament to their commitment to sustainability and innovation.
Anshuman Chakravarty, Vice President, Marketing, Somany Ceramics, said, “We are delighted to witness the passion for recycling and sustainability among India’s future architects. Sustainability lies at the heart of Somany Ceramics’ innovations—our tile adhesive production is entirely crafted from recycled waste tiles. As responsible citizens, it’s crucial to continue advocating for reduced construction waste and the adoption of recycling practices.”
Madhura Yadav, Dean, Faculty of Design, Manipal University, added, “This collaboration provided students with a unique opportunity to apply their design skills in a real-world context. Through this tile art project, students gained hands-on experience in sustainable design practices while making a positive impact on the environment.”
The collaboration between Somany Ceramics and Manipal University is a testament to the power of partnerships in driving positive change. By utilising the creativity and innovation of students, the initiative aims to raise awareness about the importance of recycling and inspire future generations to become responsible stewards of the environment.
