How is the zeolite mined? What environmental impact does the mining have?
Zeolites are formed in areas where there was volcanic activity several thousand years ago. The zeolite used in all natural Zeolite is hand-mined, causing no damage to the surrounding environment. The zeolite is micronized at the mine site (pulverized to a fine powder and filtered through a fine mesh screen), then placed in barrels and transported to the manufacturer.
Several thousand years ago, volcanic activity took place, so in those areas zeolites were formed. Liquid zeolite is generally hand mined which does not cause any damage to the nearby environment. Zeolite has to follow a process to reach the manufacturer; first it is micronized, then placed in barrels and at last transported to the manufacturer.
