Extract B: Is the world running out of sand?
Sand is in high demand. Sand accounts for up to 85% of all mining and the global
depletion of sand is rapidly exceeding its natural renewal rate. Sand is mostly
used in the construction industry to make concrete and asphalt. Chinese demand
has risen significantly, reflecting the country's rapid pace of construction: it built
32.3 million houses and 4.5 million kilometres of
road between 2011 and 2014. Sand also has industrial uses: it is used to make glass, 5
electronics, and to help extract oil in the fracking industry. While market demand for
industrial
sand has tracked overall economic growth in the USA, the demand for fracking
sand has been as volatile as oil prices.
Vast quantities of sand are dumped into the sea to reclaim land: Singapore, for
example, has expanded its land area by over 20% since the 1960s. Much of this sand
originates from

Indonesia, where sand miners have completely erased over 20 islands since 2005. The
