SUSTAINABILITY
At Don Bellini, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices. Porcelain tableware is made of clay, which when heated at high temperatures makes it extremely durable and long-lasting. Its rigid structure makes it more resistant to scratches, cracks, and other damages. In our production process, up to 6% of the ceramics are recycled and reused.

REUSING RECYCLED MATERIALS
As part of our commitment to reducing environmental impacts during the production process, any waste or rejected products will be grounded up into fine powder and recycled as raw materials. Up to 6% of these recycled raw materials will be reused in each new batch of clay mixture. Porcelain is a recyclable material and we always encourage our customers to recycle our porcelain plates after it's useful life.
WATER SUSTAINABILITY
WATER TREATMENT PROCESS
Porcelain tableware is made of clay, which when heated at high temperatures makes it extremely durable and long-lasting. Its rigid structure makes it more resistant to scratches, cracks, and other damages. In our production process, up to 6% of the ceramics are recycled and reused. Furthermore, clay does not release any type of toxic gases into the atmosphere making it 100% eco-friendly.
RAW MATERIALS
Our porcelain tableware is made from a combination of raw materials which are carefully blended to create a high-quality, durable product.
KAOLIN
SILICA SAND
K-FELDSPAR
NATURAL CATTLE BONE POWDER
LEAD-FREE GLAZE
Kaolin is a type of clay that is the primary raw material used in making porcelain. It is known for its fine particle size and high plasticity.
Also known as Quartz Sand, this is a mineral that is added to clay mixture to increase its strength and hardness.
Feldspar is a group of minerals, added to the clay mixture to lower the melting point and improve the strength and durability of the finished product.
Natural cattle bone powder is added to the mixture, only for our Bone China collection to improve the whiteness and translucency of porcelain.
We use a lead-free colourant glaze to create different colours and patterns in our finished products.
