About greenSand
Vision
“Let's help the earth to save itself” - a well-known quote from professor Olaf Schuiling. By this, he meant that the solution to the climate problem is already there. It is a matter of using it globally. By developing products of olivine-rich rocks that can replace almost all current sand and stone applications, greenSand offers sustainable and climate-resistant alternatives such as paths, garden soil and paving sand.
“The earth has the solution to the climate problem. Together we just have to give it more surface area. With greenSand I want to give everyone the chance to help the earth save itself. Together we will combat climate change”
