Unlock the Potential of Australian Diatomaceous Earth (Diatomite / DE) for Processing and Export

Australian diatomaceous earth (diatomite / DE) in raw and processed forms, highlighting local WA mining and processing for mid- and high-purity applications for horticulture, agriculture, livestock, industrial use, and export market

“Australian diatomaceous earth (diatomite / DE) is a naturally occurring, high-quality mineral sourced from Western Australia, Queensland, and South Australia, offering exceptional opportunities for local processors and end users. With silica content of 80–90% and natural organics, Australian DE is ideal for low-spec applications including horticulture, agriculture, pot plants, broadacre crop soil improvement, livestock feed, poultry dusting, eco-friendly pet litter, and industrial moisture and spill control. For Australian processors, domestic DE provides a reliable, cost-effective feedstock for calcination, micronisation, refining, and blending, enabling the production of mid- or high-purity DE suitable for filtration, industrial absorbents, chemical fillers, and export-grade markets. Switching to locally sourced Australian DE maximises value, supports sustainable and traceable supply chains, reduces dependence on imported DE, and strengthens the domestic mineral processing industry while meeting global demand for eco-friendly, high-performance diatomaceous earth
