Grown Diamonds—Eco Advantages In a recent environmental impact analysis, Frost & Sullivan (F&S) concludes the impact of the Pure Grown Process is seven times lower than Diamond Mining. Mined diamonds disturb more land, produce more mineral waste, use more water, create more air emissions (carbon, NOx and SOx), use more energy, have more environmental incidents, result in more lost time injury (both in terms of frequency and severity) and have a higher occupational disease rate. Based on their calculations, F&S further concludes that mined diamonds represent more than 7 times the level of impact as compared to grown diamonds. • The analysis concludes grown diamonds use less than half the energy of mined diamonds. • The Analysis concludes the grown process reduces the impact on the Earth by lower mineral wastes, water usage and air emissions by several magnitudes. • F&S concludes the grown process reduces the impact on the Earth by lower mineral wastes, water usage and air emissions by several magnitudes.
