Green Policy

Our Green Policy

Western Canada is our home. We’ve always been mindful of minimizing environmental impact here.

By its very nature, limestone is benign, not toxic and inert

As an industrial minerals company, we take our responsibility to the planet seriously. Limestone, our raw material, is inert, generally recognized as safe (GRAS), and naturally occurring.

Our non-hazardous operations, with zero toxic processes, have a minimal impact on the environment. IMASCO is your green choice.
