Stone+tec 2020 focuses on sustainability and design
Sustainability is a defining topic for the new decade. This is where stone is very well placed to benefit: as a construction material that is ready to use in its natural form, it ideally fulfils the conditions for sustainable materials. Obtaining stone and processing it consume much less energy than concrete, glass or ceramics. Reiner Krug, Managing Director of the German Natural Stone Association (DNV), comments: “Natural stone is sustainable and authentic, with firm local roots, and it’s the answer to current megatrends in design, construction and interior decoration! This momentum is something the entire sector can profit from.”The range of products and services at Stone+tec and its programgive the sector the tools it needs to successfully take stone in new directions.
