Manufacturing
Gravel is normally used for the production of concrete stone tablets. Extraction of gravel from riverbeds and outer marshes, however, affects the landscape and changes it into puddles. If the gravel is replaced by debris and clay granules, the landscape can be saved, and a light stone is the result. Using less material to produce the stone results in saving resources. The lightness also has a positive effect on energy consumption during transportation and it eases the building process. In addition to this development, a removable stone tablet is in the making to serve more flexible building methods. Gift from the manufacturer.
