Enviro-Grit abrasive, used as a sandblasting abrasive, was developed and manufactured internally at our Quesnel plant by Dave Zacharias. He was inspired to create a healthier sandblasting abrasive option for the sandblasting industry as a result of health issues affecting sandblasting industry workers as a whole. Dave started with Chilcotin Basalt as an abrasive and added ground glass, eventually moving to a 100% ground glass abrasive called Enviro-Grit Abrasive.

After a few years of research and development, and much trial and error, he had created a unique technology to transform waste glass into a sandblasting abrasive. Today we are one of the leading sandblasting abrasives in the industry. Enviro-Grit sandblasting abrasive is still manufactured at our Quesnel plant.
