Efficient Water Supply and Usage
Since its inception, River Sands has always relied on its own water supply to service the manufacturing facilities. Rain water and water run-off is collected via ponds, tank farms and a dam on our 300 hectare property at Carbrook. The water is then treated on-site and utilized within our offices and manufacturing plant.

Recycling
Utilising Scrap Materials
River Sands have participated in a responsible program of recycling for many years. Not only do we use recycled material in some of our packaging, and recycle timber pallets, but one of our main product lines, CCS Pigment Concentrates (used for colouring concrete and masonry) are manufactured from scrap steel.
Renewable Energy
To ensure energy efficiency within our main manufacturing facility, only recycled waste oil from Fuel Recovery Tanks is used. The oil is used in our sand drying machines.
Waste Reduction
Disintegrating Plastic Bags
CCS Pigment Concentrates come in bio-degradable bags which are simply added into a concrete mix without having to be opened or poured. The bags disintegrate when mixed into the concrete leaving no waste bags to dispose of into the environment.
Recovery of Slimes
Within our sand plant operations, we have also recently installed specialized pumps to fully recover our slimes (fine particles of sand) that are returned to our dredge ponds during the sand manufacturing process. The recovery of these fine sand particles reduces overburden as well as the impact on the pond environment.
Land Sustainability
Supporting Local Farmers
We believe that working together with our neighbouring farmers assists in sustaining not only the environment but the broader agricultural community. That is why, over the past twenty years River Sands has given local sugar cane farmers free access to farm and utilise various parcels of land surrounding our sand plant at Eagleby.
Planting and Preserving Trees
Over the past thirty years, almost 10,000 trees have been planted at our manufacturing site in Carbrook and Sand Plant at Eagleby, both south of Brisbane. Driven by Managing Director Peter James, a careful balance of native and non-native species have been sourced and planted to not only sustain but encourage the different wildlife from around the local area.
