NSC Website Adds Green Info

“The NSC is building an impressive library of knowledge, research and information, particularly with regard to the hot topic of sustainability, that we would like to share with the industry,” said John Mattke, Chairman of the NSC’s Sustainability Committee.
Based on two years of research and assessment in partnership with the University of Tennessee’s Center for Clean Products and Clean Technologies (CCPCT), the NSC is able to share a variety of data on Best Practices, Case Studies, and Material Fact Sheets.
Best Practices information includes details on water usage, site maintenance/quarry closures and solid-waste management; information on transportation should be added this month. Case studies include details on green building certification, stone-flooring durability, reclaimed stone and an anticipated publication on solar reflectance.
Fact sheets are now available for granite, marble, limestone and sandstone.
Website access is free and requires no login.
