Sustainability overview
When our customers choose natural Australian sandstone, they’re making a conscious decision to be eco-friendly. Gosford Quarries takes pride in responsibly sourcing and processing sandstone – environmental sustainability is a priority for Gosford Quarries.
As a building material, sandstone has one of the lowest carbon footprints compared to other popular building materials. It’s extracted from the ground and requires only a fraction of the embodied energy compared to producing ‘manufactured stone’ such as concrete and bricks.

These EPDs offer transparent and reliable information to support informed decision-making, whether for regulatory reporting, project planning, or eco-conscious material selection.
