DBL Ceramics has received a Bronze Award in the Creative B2B category at Spikes Asia 2026, held in Singapore, marking the first recognition of a Bangladeshi ceramics brand at this level of Asia's premier creative communications festival. The award-winning TileChalk initiative was developed in partnership with POP.
TileChalk transforms ceramic production waste into classroom chalk, addressing two critical challenges simultaneously. The initiative reduces industrial waste while providing affordable learning materials to underserved schools. Since its launch, the programme has achieved significant impact through ceramic sludge recycling, revitalisation of the local chalk manufacturing industry, and support to thousands of students in underserved communities across Bangladesh.
The recognition underscores DBL Ceramics' strategic commitment to innovation and sustainability. By converting industrial byproducts into educational resources, the company demonstrates how corporate initiatives can generate measurable social value while addressing environmental concerns. This achievement positions DBL Ceramics as a leader in sustainable business practices within Bangladesh's ceramics sector.
