Globalstonesite: Commitment to process and product sustainability
2023-01-03
At China Marble Manufacturers Globalstonesite we are deeply committed to sustainability; it is at the heart of everything we do, from our natural stone products to the processes we use to create them. In fact, our goal is to achieve 100% recyclability. We have seen firsthand the many ways natural stone can be used, reused time and time again, breathing new life into each subsequent project.
When you buy stone and stone supplies through Globalstonesite, you can rest assured that you are doing your part to support a business that cares not just about the trade and its customers, but the future of the planet as a whole.
Sustainability through the process We have taken steps to improve the sustainability of the processes we use to manufacture and manufacture our stone. We have implemented innovative technologies to help us reduce waste. With this tool, we can cut stone more efficiently, minimize material waste and maximize efficiency. Additionally, our customers enjoy savings and can use less labor to manufacture each board.
We also take steps to minimize water usage in processing stone. Water is used to control heat during processing and to help cut the gemstone itself. By its very nature, stone requires a lot of water due to its hardness and durability. Currently, we have improved our treatment process so that we recycle about 98% of the water. We even custom designed a water filtration system in our manufacturing facility that captures it and removes the stone residue so it can be reused.
At Globalstonesite, we believe that everything has a purpose - and when it doesn't, we bring together our team's collective knowledge to find one. For example, when we customize a job with leftover scrap or waste material, we shred the scrap into aggregate that can be used in gardens or flower beds.
Also, did we mention that our commitment to sustainability has led us to develop stone that is thinner and lighter than traditional building stone? The smaller size and lighter weight greatly reduce the fuel needed to transport this material, especially over long distances.
Sustainability through products By its very nature stone is a sustainable product as it has no shelf life. In fact, the older the Stone Age, the more valuable it becomes. This is especially true for materials like cobblestone, which we often buy from cities to rebuild streets. We found we could buy used natural granite stone and granite curbstones and offer them to our customers for resale; the stone's rich history and patina made it a customer favorite.
The same concept applies to antique bluestone and Statuario marble, both of which are often used in villas or churches in Europe. Whenever possible, we believe in preserving and recycling existing stone to reveal its history and beauty.
Let's keep working for sustainable development At Globalstonesite, we take our commitment to creating a more sustainable future seriously. With over 20 years of experience in the stone industry, we want to see the industry continue to thrive in the decades to come - but we also understand our responsibility to continue improving our processes and products with an eye towards the future of our planet.
