Covia Advances Sustainability with Dust and Waste Reduction Initiatives in Mexico

At Covia, we take pride in going beyond environmental compliance by fostering awareness, actively managing ecological risks, using resources more efficiently, supporting wildlife and habitat preservation, building strong partnerships with stakeholders, and ensuring the responsible stewardship of the land entrusted to us.

We aim to be responsible community partners by:

Our commitment to sustainability is demonstrated through measurable initiatives across our operations.

Case in point:
Controlling Dust Emissions at Lampazos, Mexico
To address the challenge of dust released during the filling of large flexible intermediate bulk containers at our Lampazos industrial mineral site, we introduced a sealing sleeve at the discharge outlet. This system tightly secures the bag opening under pressure, significantly reducing airborne particles while improving workplace safety and cleanliness.

Enhancing Waste Management at Canoitas, Mexico
At our Canoitas warehouse, we adopted a hopper system—a steel container designed for forklift use—that enables us to separate four categories of waste under a streamlined management plan. This approach has reduced overall waste volumes, optimized storage efficiency, lowered container, transport, and disposal expenses, and improved safety by reducing risks.
