Aggregates and industrial sand producers are proactive members of their communities who operate sustainable businesses, both during production and at the end of a quarry’s life cycle. Operators ensure closed sites are responsibly reclaimed and add community benefit once extraction is completed. Reclaimed quarries can take many different forms, depending on where they are located, including farmland, parks, wildlife habitat areas, water reservoirs, community developments, recreation spots, nature preserves, alternative energy generation and more.
NSSGA members are effective stewards of the land. They value innovation that enhances sustainability throughout the supply chain and create state-of-the-art solutions that improve our homes, businesses, and schools. NSSGA supports incentive-based programs and a flexible sustainability strategy that allows our members to increase their operations’ sustainability during extraction and reclamation based on the individual needs of each business.
