Hanson Chief Executive Alan Murray has built the business around both this resource extraction and processing building materials.
It has also managed to retain some of the profits from processing its raw materials - something most African countries have failed to do.
It is quite possible that technologies being developed for other purposes (such as lasers, which are useful for all sorts of advanced materials processing) will make the process cheaper and easier still.
Raw materials, processing and consumption are all part of a process through which transport is powered.
That means measuring and reducing the embodied energy of a product throughout the supply chain, from materials extraction to processing to transportation to product use and disposal.
Investors will also converge on the compelling opportunities in core economic sectors such as banking, mobile telecoms, internet, electricity, building materials, and food processing.
SOEs in sectors like equipment manufacturing, raw-materials production and food processing.
Sourcing raw materials, chemicals used in processing, energy and water use, finishing of products are simply a handful of considerations in developing a fine luxury eco-friendly collection.
The easy-to-use Form software (compatible with any 3D CAD package), custom-formulated printing materials, and Form Finish post-processing kit complement the beautifully simple printer to make desktop 3D printing as easy as pushing a button.
China is a prominent export-processing economy, which means that its factories import lots of raw materials and intermediate goods to stoke the machines and processes that manufacture and assemble the finished goods it exports to the United States and elsewhere.
