Seth Czaplewski proposes recycling unused clay materials and broken ceramics by incorporating them into new ceramic works or converting them into biochar. Some materials that can be recycled include clay abandoned in studios, contaminated clay, excavated clay from other projects, wad and wash from ceramic production, and unwanted or broken pots. Biochar is a charcoal-like material produced by heating biomass in low-oxygen conditions that can sequester carbon in soil for thousands of years and improve soil quality and plant growth. By recycling clay wastes and converting ceramics into biochar, Czaplewski aims to both reduce ceramic waste and educate the public about sustainable practices.
