Raw Material Sourcing Sustainability for Mineral Fibres
topic
Mineral fibre raw material sustainability assessment evaluates silica sand mining land use and habitat impact, boron mineral sourcing concentration risk in Turkey for glass fibre production, PAN precursor supply chain from petroleum-derived acrylonitrile for carbon fibre, and basalt quarry restoration obligations, using supply chain risk assessment frameworks and responsible sourcing certifications to identify and mitigate raw material sustainability risks.
Role
Identifies the supply chain environmental and social sustainability risks associated with mineral fibre raw material extraction and processing, enabling mineral fibre manufacturers to develop responsible sourcing policies, supplier audit programmes, and material efficiency improvements that reduce environmental impact and supply security risks across the full upstream raw material supply chain.
