Why choose Aspiring Materials
Sourced from mining waste
Our silica is derived from olivine, an abundant rock, typically discarded as waste in mining operations. By sourcing silica from this carbon-free feedstock, emissions in cement applications can be significantly reduced.
Produced from a patented low-carbon process
Developed from decades of R&D, patented across world leading markets, the Aspiring Process produces no waste or carbon emissions. Our pilot plant is currently capable of processing 250kgs of olivine per day.
Developed in New Zealand, globally scalable
World-leading technology developed in Christchurch, New Zealand our elegant process design makes it easy to scale wherever critical minerals are needed.
