DBL Ceramics has won a Bronze Award in the Creative B2B category at Spikes Asia 2026 in Singapore, marking the first time a Bangladeshi ceramics brand has received recognition at the regional creative communications festival.
The award was granted for the company’s TileChalk initiative, developed in partnership with POP, according to the press statement.
Spikes Asia is one of Asia’s largest and most recognised creative communications festivals, drawing campaigns from across the region.
The TileChalk campaign converts waste generated during ceramic production into classroom chalk, aiming to reduce industrial waste while providing affordable learning materials to schools with limited resources.
Through the initiative, ceramic sludge produced during manufacturing is recycled and transformed into chalk used in classrooms.
The project has also helped revive local chalk manufacturing and provided learning tools to thousands of students in underserved communities within a short period, the company said.
The recognition highlights DBL Ceramics’ focus on innovation and sustainability as well as efforts to generate positive social impact through industrial recycling initiatives.
