It’s in our serving surfaces motto: people are essential to the product and the product is essential to people. And that’s why Diresco is dedicated to health and safety during mineral composite production and processing. That starts with a full understanding of the potential risks associated with the raw materials and how to minimise them.

Responsible treatment
What is crystalline silica?
Around 12% of the Earth’s crust is composed of the crystalline silica mineral. In its solid state, the mineral is completely harmless. As a dust, however, it can cause respiratory harm and prolonged exposure can lead to severe occupational illness.
Low Silica is the way forward
Diresco heavily invests in developing products with minimal silica content. These products proudly bear our Low Silica label. The label is part of our broader sustainability strategy to safeguard the safety of our employees and customers.
These certificates prove our dedication.
At Diresco, we leave absolutely nothing to chance when it comes to health and safety; that goes for our employees and your colleagues and customers. Here and now and down the road.
