Every stage of a dredging project presents opportunities to increase the sustainability of sand extraction.

How the global dredging industry uses sand in a responsible manner is described in the new paper “Sand as a resource: Best practices to conduct responsible dredging projects,” initiated and presented by the Sustainability Committee of IADC. The paper is available free of charge.

The paper presents best practices for optimal use of scarce sand resources, on both project and operational levels. Every stage of a project presents opportunities to increase the sustainability of sand extraction.
