Less dust in nature. More innovation in your hands.

Lightdust is crafted with up to 50% filler derived from stone and quarry dust, primarily sourced from the sawing of marble blocks using diamond wire technology. This dust, when discharged into water, transforms into sludge, posing significant environmental challenges. By repurposing it into Lightdust, alongside a base polymer made from 100% recycled polypropylene, we turn waste into innovation while protecting ecosystems.
What makes Lightdust truly sustainable is its adaptability—by using locally sourced quarry dust, production can be tailored to regional resources, minimizing the environmental impact associated with transporting raw materials and offering an eco-conscious solution to quarries worldwide.
This breakthrough material is the result of three years of dedicated research and development. We are proud to now open doors for collaboration, inviting major compounders to license the patented technology or explore other mutually beneficial partnerships.
The problem we are trying to solve: environmental impact of marble sludge on water bodies
Increased Turbidity: The suspension of fine marble particles elevates the turbidity of rivers and streams, reducing light penetration essential for photosynthesis in aquatic plants. This diminished light can disrupt the entire aquatic food chain.
Habitat Degradation: Sedimentation from marble dust can smother benthic habitats, adversely affecting organisms that rely on the riverbed for spawning and feeding. The accumulation of these particles alters the natural substrate, making it inhospitable for many species.
Chemical Pollution: While marble is primarily composed of calcium carbonate, the quarrying process can introduce other contaminants, including heavy metals and hydrocarbons, into water bodies. These pollutants can have toxic effects on aquatic life and may pose risks to human health if they enter drinking water sources.
Groundwater Contamination: Infiltration of marble slurry into karst aquifers can modify groundwater quality. The fine particles can clog the porous structures of karst systems, affecting water flow and purity.
