Conservation of Minerals

Conservation Of Minerals: Minerals require millions of years to form and now-a-days, we are consuming minerals at a much faster rate than the rate at which they are formed. The mineral resources are finite and non-renewable. Continuous extraction of minerals raises the cost of extraction as they have to be dug from greater depths. Minerals may also be low in quality. So, there is need to conserve our mineral resources judiciously in the following ways

  • Mineral resources should be used in planned and sustainable manner.
  • Technologies should be developed to use lower grade minerals at lower costs.
  • Metals should be recycled and alternative materials should be used so that minerals can be conserved.
