Sustainability
The manufacturing process of stone requires lower energy consumption than other materials. The fact that stone is a natural product implies much simpler extraction and processing procedures.
From the point of view of sustainability, natural stone is characterized by its durability, lower energy consumption in its production, reusability and easy disposal, being an inert residue.
