The toxic (but cheaper) stuff will be manufactured offshore

The existing toxic stuff was made offshore. It’s not the manufacturing that’s the issue, it’s the cutting to size. You can’t do that offshore. Indeed, in some circumstances cuts are made on the building site.

From the article:

> The federal government will also impose a ban on imported engineered stone to provide an "additional layer of enforcement and deterrence at the border", however the date has not been finalised yet.
