“Tomorrow matters….”
Co-processing is the use of waste material as alternative resources (raw materials, energy, or both) to replace non-renewable natural resources in cement processes
Aside from reuse and recycling, co-processing is the most ecological way to treat waste respecting the waste hierarchy.
Alternative fuels and raw materials (AFR) from waste can play an important role in contributing towards reducing fossil fuel use and costs while conserving natural resources, lowering global CO2 emissions, improving waste management and reducing Landfilling volumes.
Cementis assists your company in the co-processing of Alternative Fuels (such as tires, sewage sludge, waste oil, contaminated soil and much more) replacing primary fuel and thus reducing energy costs but more important reducing CO2.
