Choices and processes that make a difference
Have you ever heard of "green silicon"?
In 2022, as a result of its investment in efficient and modern processes, LIASA introduced the concept of manufacturing "green silicon", which, in other words, is a true seal of sustainability.
Green silicon contains all the physical and chemical characteristics and quality of the metal silicon that the company already produced; however, it undergoes a new rigorous process based on ESG requirements, which ensures conscious and responsible production, as well as a lower environmental impact.
Environmentally friendly standards for green silicon production include, for example, a negative carbon footprint, which consists of lower CO² emissions than removals and stocks; the use of sustainably sourced charcoal in the process of transforming of milky quartz into metallic silicon and ferrosilicon; and the use of energy from renewable sources. These standards are also reflected in the production of by-products.
In our case, all of this is verified by the best control and quality standards, including international standards such as ISO, Ecovadis, GHG Protocol and GRI.
