Australia is leading a global health movement with its pioneering decision to ban the use of, supply, and manufacture of all engineered stone products by July 1, 2024. This bold move, motivated by a commitment to safeguarding worker health, addresses the alarming rates of silicosis and other silica-related diseases linked to the dust produced when engineered stone is processed. With engineered stone containing upwards of 90 percent crystalline silica—a stark contrast to the lower levels found in natural stone—Australia’s stance highlights an urgent need for safer alternatives in the construction and design industries.
Amid this regulatory landscape, Morefar Global emerges as a beacon of innovation and safety, offering alternatives that promise to transform our living spaces without compromising health. Understanding the gravity of Australia’s ban, rooted in extensive research and the undeniable risks of silicosis, Morefar Global advocates for awareness and change, ensuring that the beauty of our homes never comes at the expense of our well-being.
