- In all of its cement production facilities programmes of the following
types are put in place:
- Control of emissions of powder and gases: NOx, SO2
etc.
- Sustainability and eco-efficiency designed to minimise its use of
scarce resources such as water and to improve the efficiency of heat,
electricity, etc.
- Active recycling involving reuse of waste matter from its own or other
industrial facilities that is compatible with general environmental
protection.
- Passive recycling involving classification of waste which cannot be
used by our industrial facilities but may be used by others, such as
metal, in specific cases oil and rubber, etc.
- Research into the use of alternative combustibles or raw materials.
