Material
1)Material | 1)Classification | 3)Composition | 2)Properties |
Ceramic (Pot) | Clay | Iron, Alumina | hard, wear-resistant, brittle, refractory, thermal insulators, electrical insulators, nonmagnetic, oxidation resistant, prone to thermal shock, and chemically stable. |
Slate(Paving) | Natural Stone | Quarts,Muscovite,Biotite, Chlorite, Hematite, Pyrite | normally fine to medium grained, moderately hard & compact, less homogeneous with varying textures & shades. |
Quartzite(Tiles) | Natural Stone | Fuzzy quartz sand grains | very Hard, Compact, Fine grained, equi-granular homogeneous rocks of metamorphic nature |
Limestone (Chalk) | Natural Stone | Silica, Carbonate of lime, Carbonate of magnesia, Iron | Quite impervious, Hard, Compact, fine to very fine grained calcareous rocks of sedimentary nature |
Sandstone(Coaster) | Natural Stone | Quartz grains, Feldspar grains, Rock fragment grains | a sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized minerals or rock grains, Most sandstone is composed of quartz and/or feldspar. Some sandstones are resistant to weathering, individual grains are hard |
Marble (Sculpture) | Natural Stone | Silica, Carbonate of lime, Carbonate of magnesia, Iron | non foliated metamorphic rock, composed mostly of calcite which is a crystalline form of calcium carbonate |

5)Meaning of Sustainability: to support, hold, or bear up from below; bear the weight of, as a structure.
7)What it means when we say a product is sustainable it can be used for a long time
8)sustainable environment is when people or animals are able to thrive
