Today, August 1, is Earth Overshoot Day. This date signifies the point at which human demands on natural resources exceed what the planet can naturally produce. In other words, we are using more than the Earth can produce or renew. Circularity is one way we can reduce over-utilizing natural resources and greenhouse gas emissions. Co-processing combines decarbonization with waste management to ensure that we continue evolving towards a sustainable world. 💡 🌱 At Votorantim Cimentos, we replace fossil fuels with alternative fuels, such as biomass, which reduces carbon emissions in our cement kilns. Want to see how this works? Watch the video which highlights how we use wheat husks and other agricultural by-products to reduce our CO2 emissions. #VotorantimCimentos #Circularity #Sustainability #Coprocessing #ESG
