Did you know that sand and gravel are now 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭-𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 in the world? Demand for sand mining for construction materials has 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐝 in the past two decades, reaching a staggering 50 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫.🌍 In Germany alone, 70 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐬 of sand is used annually for concrete. However, the sand found in deserts is unsuitable for construction due to its smooth, eroded grains. That's why even the iconic skyscrapers of Dubai, a desert city, were built with sand imported all the way from Australia! The environmental impacts of sand mining are significant, leading to: 🌿 Biodiversity loss 🏝️ Land losses 🌊 Increased flooding risks 🚛 Transport emissions and water pollution At ecoLocked, we are dedicated to making a positive impact. Our innovative solution, 𝐞𝐋𝐌 𝐙𝐞𝐫𝐨, not only stores captured carbon in concrete - it can replace up to 25% of the sand in concrete, saving almost 17.5 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐬 of sand per year in Germany alone. Together, we can conserve our valuable raw materials and protect our planet. #ecoLocked #eLMZero #Sand #EnvironmentalImpact #GreenConcrete
