Likely impacts relate to water and energy consumption, yields from raw materials, recyclability, and other measures that are considered in life cycle assessments, as well as energy used in transportation, processing, and selling the material.

Benefits of Stone:

  • Natural product
  • Enduring lifecycle
  • Easy to maintain
  • Recyclable
  • Quarry and manufacturing use best practices
  • Can be reclaimed
