manufacturing
As brick originates from the earth’s clay, it thrives as a nearly inexhaustible natural resource and is manufactured in 38 states.
Furthermore, the clay mining process is virtually harmless to the environment, and a single small mining site may be used for more than a century. After they have been depleted, clay pits can be converted into wildlife preserves or lakes for sport, recreation or conservation use.
Carolina Ceramic, Inc., a brick manufacturer in Columbia, S.C., converted its clay pit into a 2,000-acre wildlife refuge for deer, turkey, dove and quail. And Acme Brick has transformed more than a dozen of its depleted pits to wildlife sanctuaries stocked with corn-fed catfish.
Unlike other building materials, brick creates little waste when it is manufactured.
