Supporting Innovation: Our Support for Zero-Silica Solutions

In a significant move towards enhancing workplace safety and environmental sustainability, Cabtec is proud to support the recent industry shift towards zero-silica benchtops. This initiative, Better Benchtops by AGB Stone, aims to eliminate the health risks associated with silica dust, a known cause of the potentially fatal lung disease silicosis.

Why Zero-Silica Matters

Silica, commonly found in traditional stone benchtops, poses severe health risks when inhaled as dust during fabrication and installation. Recognizing these dangers, AGB Stone has pioneered the development of zero-silica engineered stone, providing a safer alternative for both workers and homeowners. This innovative product not only ensures a healthier work environment but also maintains the durability and aesthetic appeal of traditional stone benchtops.

Industry-Wide Support

We are not alone in this commitment. Other industry leaders, have also embraced this change, highlighting the collective effort to prioritize health and safety in the benchtop fabrication industry. Some have been a vocal advocate for safer kitchen environments, while others have emphasized the sustainability and safety benefits of zero-silica products.

Our Role in Promoting Safety

This commitment extends to ensuring the well-being of Cabtec staff, customers, and the broader community. We believe that by adopting these innovative solutions, we can contribute to a safer and more sustainable future for the industry.
