sustainability of brazilian slate
Brazilian slate is increasingly being recognized for its sustainability. Here are some key points regarding the sustainability of Brazilian slate:
- Brazilian slate products are carbon neutral.
This means that the CO₂ equivalent emissions released during their lifecycle, including extraction, production, and transportation, have been calculated and offset.
Sustainable Manufacturing Practices
We use 100% solar energy to produce all our slate products, and recycled water in the production process (we have big tanks for decantation, from where the clean water is then being pumped back to clean water tanks)
We ensure that the wood used for crates comes from managed forests with a harvest and replant system.
Waste Management
All wastes from the slate manufacturing process is collected and supplied to specialized local companies for use in construction (such as road infrastructure) or agriculture (for use in production of fertilizes), which contributes to a circular economy.
Natural Material
Slate is a 100% natural product that requires no additional treatment.
Making it a sustainable choice for various projects.
These initiatives and characteristics contribute to the sustainability of Brazilian slate, making it a more eco friendly option in construction industry.
