'It is really important that we all understand where the raw materials come from, that metals and minerals are in the Earth where nature puts them. They don't come from a factory, and the supply is dispersed around the world where sometimes business and environmental practices aren't the best.'Richard hopes that by learning where these valuable resources come from and how they are being extracted, people will place more value on what they already have, understand the environmental (and human) cost of cheap electronics, reduce their own waste and make choices that in turn force manufacturers to lift their standards.Funda ngokugqithisileyo -

Mineral raw materials are defined as minerals that are the natural products of geological processes that took place millions of years ago. They are found in the Earth’s crust. Mineral raw materials are estimated to include around 4,000 minerals. Minerals have a unique chemical composition, highly ordered atomic arrangement, and specific physicochemical properties.Funda ngokugqithisileyo -
Industrial minerals are used, either in processed or natural state, to make building materials, paint, ceramics, glass, plastics, paper, electronics, detergents, medications and medical devices, and many more industrial and domestic products.Do you know what industrial minerals are? You may not know them, but they permeate nearly every aspect of our daily lives. Industrial minerals are used, either in processed or natural state, to make building materials, paint, ceramics, glass, plastics, paper, electronics, detergents, medications and medical devices, and many more industrial and domestic products.According to the Industrial Minerals Association of North America, every American consumes about 24 tons of industrial minerals each year.Funda ngokugqithisileyo -
Vermiculite is a natural, inorganic, non-toxic mineral that expands under high temperature. It is a relatively rare mineral, belonging to the silicate group. Its crystal structure is monoclinic crystal system, and its appearance is similar to mica. Vermiculite is produced by the hydration of certain granite.Funda ngokugqithisileyo -
