Resource efficiency and sustainability are the major current challenges for the sand and gravel industry. To achieve this, the resources must be extracted with as little energy and emissions as possible, sand and gravel must be produced efficiently, and the subsequent use after extraction must be compatible with nature. In addition, the topic of recycling and the circular economy as well as the change to the landfill business are becoming increasingly important.
In addition, the logistics processes in the sand and gravel plant as well as the overarching logistics processes are also a decisive factor in ensuring efficient and sustainable operations. Particularly in view of the sharp rise in energy costs, tough competitive situations and shortage of skilled workers, the major challenge is to optimize processes and cut costs.
