How does the mining of Terramin® impact the environment?
CEMC is committed to eco-friendly production and complete sustainability. Terramin® comes from our subsurface mine in the arid Colorado desert in Southern California. We extract each batch of minerals from beneath the surface, without the use of water or chemicals that can cause erosion or pollution. The minerals are carefully removed and the over-layer (“overburden”) is replaced to preserve the natural state of the desert habitat. We apply good environmental and sustainability methods. At CEMC we are very aware of the damage that many modern industrial processes can do to our environment. In fact our clays are used to clean up toxic spills and to remove mercury from coal emissions. As part of our company mission, we strive to help preserve a healthy planet.
