OUR STORY

Ferticlay began as one woman’s frustration with pollution in the construction industry.

Saddled with her undergraduate final year project in the midst of lockdown, Jodie chose to make her interior design model using materials she already had. Armed with paper, eggshells, and soil from her uncle’s garden, she pieced together what would be the first prototype for Ferticlay. 

OUR MISSION

In 2021, we founded Ferticlay to drive innovation of waste-based clay products across the design and build industry.

This means transforming everyday items like food waste into a material with renewed potential. ​

For now, this includes thoughtfully made homeware, such as plant pots, figurines and lamps. Soon, it will mean entire cities made from sustainable building materials.

OUR VISION

We believe in discovering the value in the lost, last and least.

Our goal is to build liveable future cities that cherish the earth and embrace inclusivity.

Our Sustainability Commitment

Sourcing
We are committed to the responsible sourcing of all our clay deposits, ensuring that our production process minimises environmental impact. At every step of our material production, we remain mindful of the sources of our waste inputs. This means that every eggshell, every coffee ground, and every clay particle has been thoughtfully curated and processed with minimal energy usage.
Packaging
We’re committed to the zero-waste journey and do our best to keep our footprint small. Our packaging is sourced from suppliers that have no choice but to discard their old stock. Where able, we reuse unavoidable packaging that comes from purchasing of our tools and ingredients. Get in touch if you’d like to supply us with more sustainable alternatives!
Supporting a circular economy
We get by with a little help from our earth. Ferticlay is committed to playing a vital role in the circular economy by promoting waste reduction and reuse. We avoid harmful chemicals and prioritise biodegradable materials, ensuring our products safely return to the earth at the end of their lifecycle.
Sustainable development
Earth-loving cities are at the heart of what we do. Our goal is to create high-quality items while reducing energy consumption and maintaining a deep respect for the earth's natural resources. At the same time, we strive to empower and uplift underserved communities through inclusive hiring practices — creating employment opportunities for persons with disabilities, and fostering a diverse and supportive workplace.
