TENNESSE (Scrap Monster): Waste To Value Stone, a new innovative company, focuses on recycling granite waste into green building products, and prevent it from ending in the landfills which arouses environmental issues.
Market research shows that 85% of granite excavated from kitchen counter tops gets thrown away during all processing ways from quarrying to fabrication.
These wastes are recycled into products that can be used for paving, cladding of walls, back splashes in kitchens, cladding of fireplaces and even garden landscaping.
Louwrens Mulder, owner of Waste to Value Stone, has designed a machine The Tomahawk Stone Splitter, that will cut the pieces of waste into the different products.
Moreover, he is passionate about recycling granite and the making of low maintenance,sustainable and aesthetic looking building products out of granite waste.
By using the Tomahawk Stone Splitter on waste stone, a whole new market opens up for designers utilizing natural stone applications.
