The Institute of Quarrying (IoQ) is hosting a must-attend event in the United Arab Emirates on 11 April 2016.
The 2016 event themed ‘Quarrying and the Environment’ follows on from the success of the IoQ’s 2015 Middle East event.
Environmental considerations of quarrying operations are becoming increasingly important to operators. Driven by government pressures to address multiple agendas involving climate change, carbon emissions, biodiversity, recycling and waste, it’s easy to see how quarry operators can feel overburdened with all the additional requirements. However, modern operators have realised that improving their own environmental management practices is worth more to them than just meeting the requirements under legislation. Measuring and monitoring environmental impact of quarrying operations improves efficiencies and profits.
The 2016 Middle East event will be setting out to explore both operational and management areas where better environmental awareness of your site can have a positive effect on your business.
