How does ore-sand contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals?

Ore-sand supports resilient industrial development and infrastructure construction by avoiding mine waste production while generating a scaled source of low-carbon industrial and construction sand with few adverse human security and biodiversity risks. 

 

Ore-sand offers a sustainable alternative to natural sand, reducing urban environmental impact footprints, supporting resilient infrastructure, and enabling more resource-efficient cities through circular economy materials solutions. 

 

Ore-sand promotes responsible consumption and production—reducing reliance on natural sand, generating new mining by-products, and fostering circular economy practices that minimise waste, human security risks and environmental impact across supply chains. 

 

Ore-sand reduces demand for marine and river sand extraction, which helps protect coastal and aquatic ecosystems, mitigates habitat degradation, and supports the sustainable use of ocean and marine resources.

 

Ore-sand reduces land degradation and biodiversity loss linked to sand mining, and by avoiding mine waste to create new sand by-products, it lessens the footprint of both extractive and construction industries. 

 

Ore-sand forges new partnerships across mining, construction, industrial and policy sectors. OreSand Inc will broker relationships in emerging circular supply networks, fostering collaboration for sustainable development and innovation.
