Resources
Natural resources are invaluable assets provided by the Earth, which are essential for the survival and prosperity of human society. These resources are divided into several categories based on their origin and characteristics.
The sustainable management of natural resources is crucial to avoid depletion and environmental degradation. Strategies for responsible resource management include:
Conservation: Protecting ecosystems, reducing waste, and practicing sustainable forestry and fisheries to maintain biodiversity.
Efficiency: Implementing energy-efficient technologies, reducing water waste, and optimizing resource use in industries.
Renewable Energy: Shifting from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydroelectric power.
Recycling: Promoting the recycling of materials like metals, paper, and plastics to reduce the need for virgin resources.
Regulations: Enforcing environmental regulations to prevent overexploitation of natural resources and minimize pollution.
Balancing economic development with ecological sustainability is a global challenge. As the world’s population continues to grow, responsible resource management becomes increasingly important to ensure that these resources are available for current and future generations.
Screen & Washed Silica is used predominantly (40/70,100 & 200 mesh) in Fracking sand for the oil Industry and float glass manufacturing. It is also used in Paints, Ceramics, in the manufacturing of Glass products, including Architectural and Solar Glass applications, as well as in the Foundry and Building products industry.
Ground Silica, depending on size and purity (400 mesh and smaller) is used in plastics, rubber, polishes, cleansers, paints, glazes, textile fiberglass, precision castings, premium paints, specialty coatings, sealants, silicone rubber, and epoxies.
Silica sand is the most important substance on Earth and the literal foundation of modern civilization. It is an essential core of our daily lives that most of us barely ever think about. Sand, in short, is the essential ingredient that makes modern life possible. For example, approximately 50kg of silica sand is used in every car. It is used TV , computer and cell phones, in concrete, tiles, cosmetics, stucco, toothpaste, water filters…etc..Consequently, Quartz extraction is absolutely essential for our society.
Our operation philosophy is that of a private company with decentralized management, short and agile decision lines, long-term investments and an outstanding history of relationships with our customers and employees.
The mining industry plays a significant role in the global economy, providing raw materials for various sectors. However, mining can also have environmental and social impacts, such as habitat disruption, water pollution, and displacement of communities. Sustainable mining practices, including responsible extraction and reclamation efforts, are essential to mitigate these negative effects.
Mining regulations and environmental standards vary by country and region, aiming to strike a balance between resource exploitation and environmental protection. Additionally, technological advancements in mining techniques and exploration have led to more efficient and environmentally friendly practices in the industry.
