Marble applications

Marble, besides being a prime material for construction and decoration, has multiple applications in various industries due to its physical and chemical properties. Below are some of the ways marble is used to generate products in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and plastic replacement industries.

  • Cosmetics:

    Pulverized marble is used in the cosmetic industry as an ingredient in facial powders, eyeshadows, and other makeup products. Its soft and fine texture allows for even application, offering a silky feel on the skin. Additionally, marble contains minerals that can have beneficial effects, such as oil absorption and shine control, making it a valued additive in beauty products.

  • Pharmaceuticals:

    In the pharmaceutical industry, marble is primarily used in the form of calcium carbonate. This compound is a common ingredient in antacids and calcium supplements. Its purity and high calcium content make it ideal for the production of tablets and powders that help combat stomach acidity and prevent calcium deficiencies in the body.

  • Agricultural Use (Fertilizers):

    Ground marble, in the form of calcium carbonate, is employed in agriculture as an amendment for acidic soils. It acts as a pH corrector, neutralizing soil acidity and improving its structure. This enhances nutrient absorption by plants and contributes to increased agricultural productivity. Additionally, calcium carbonate provides an extra supply of calcium, an essential nutrient for plant development.

  • Plastic and Petroleum-Based Product Substitute: 

    Marble is also being explored as a sustainable substitute for plastics and other petroleum-based products. By combining marble powder with biodegradable polymers, composite materials can be created that mimic the properties of plastic but with significantly less environmental impact. These materials are used in the manufacturing of packaging, bags, and other products traditionally made with plastic, contributing to the reduction of plastic waste and the protection of the environment.

Our practices for a Greener Future

Tectónica champions sustainability with recycled water, solar energy, low-emission vehicles, and zero waste, all through clean, chemical-free processes that minimize environmental impact and promote a circular economy.

Recycled Water. Closed Circuit (always the same water)
At Tectónica, we understand the importance of water as a vital and finite resource. That's why we've implemented a closed-circuit system for water use in our processes. This approach ensures that the water is continuously recycled, minimizing consumption and preventing waste. In this way, we contribute to the preservation of this precious natural resource.
80% Solar Energy. Solar Panels and Charging Stations
We are committed to the transition to renewable energy. By generating 80% of our energy from solar panels, we not only reduce our carbon footprint but also harness a clean and inexhaustible energy source. Additionally, our electric vehicle charging stations promote more sustainable mobility, aligning with our ecological vision.
Low Emission Heavy Vehicles with Consumption Reducers
At Tectónica, efficiency and sustainability go hand in hand. Our heavy vehicles are equipped with advanced technology to reduce emissions and fuel consumption. This not only decreases air pollution but also optimizes the energy resources used in the logistics and transportation of our products.
Zero Waste. Fully Recyclable Stone for Various Uses:
We believe in a circular economy and material reuse. At Tectónica, the stone we process generates no waste; everything is utilized. Marble waste is recycled and transformed into new products, such as gravel, marble dust for the construction industry, or even new design pieces. This zero-waste approach reinforces our commitment to sustainability and innovation.
Clean Processes Without the Need for Chemicals with Natural Stone:
The health of our workers and respect for the environment are our top priorities. That's why our marble extraction and processing methods are free of harmful chemicals. Additionally, as we work with natural stone, no pollutants are released during handling, ensuring a clean and environmentally friendly process.
