Talk about a proud moment for our teams! 🌟 Imerys’ reclaimed kaolin has made its debut at the world’s most prestigious horticultural event: the Royal Horticultural Society’s (RHS) Chelsea Flower Show 🌸 What was once part of a waste stream from our Cornwall operations is now helping form the carbon-negative concrete used in the award-winning “Breathing Space Garden”, designed by Angus Thomson for Asthma + Lung UK. 🧘 This restorative sanctuary was built specifically for people living with respiratory conditions, offering a beautiful, quiet space for yoga, breathing and reflection. Now that the show is over, the garden will be permanently relocated to the Breathing Space center in South Yorkshire, where we hope our reclaimed kaolin will continue to provide a place for wellbeing and contemplation, long after King Charles and the crowds have gone home.🤴🏻 A huge congratulations to our Cornish teams who stepped up in record time to give this valuable mineral a second life. 👏 Take a virtual tour of the garden: https://bbc.in/4ejqads
