Cemex’s Post

Niacet, a Kerry Company, has moved to become Zero Waste to Landfill!! We purchase all the steam used in the facility directly from our industrial neighbor, Covanta, a company that generates both steam and electricity from incinerated waste.  By collaborating with Covanta we have created our own circular economy right here in our local industrial complex. We are proud to share that our sustainability efforts went a step further as well. Within another facility under the Covanta umbrella, our higher carbon content industrial waste is now processed to become a fuel source that feeds into cement factories and Lime kilns. Kerry Niagara Falls use over 20 million lbs of Lime annually in the production of Calcium Propionate –Our flagship product. This contributes another layer to our circular economy & further supports our manufacturing sustainability goals. #CircularEconomy #ZeroWasteToLandfill #SustainabiltyForTheFuture!!!!

Focused on sustainability today and tomorrow!!

Der Grüne Punkt to Supply Shell with Pyrolysis Oil The German organization Green Dot Group (Der Grüne Punkt) is providing Shell Chemicals Europe with pyrolysis oil derived from post-consumer plastic packaging. This oil will be processed at Shell’s upcoming "Market Development Upgrader Unit (MDU)" at the Chemicals Park in Moerdijk, Netherlands. The upgrader, expected to start operations by the end of the year, will handle plastic waste unsuitable for mechanical recycling. With an annual capacity of 50,000 tonnes, the facility will help reduce waste incineration. Green Dot Group has been supplying Shell with this oil since March.   Using pyrolysis for plastic waste transformation is a great avenue of valorisation for non traditionally recyclable materials. As the giant starts taking in pyrolytic oil, we hope more investments will be geared towards pyrolysis projects. #Pyrolysis #Recycling #Sustainability #PlasticRecycling https://lnkd.in/d83Hn_gk

Recycled Polyolefins! Wood Mackenzie has updated our latest Strategic Planning Outlook examining how far the market developed in 2023, the pace of growth in the rest of the 2020s and longer-term risks to growth. If a discussion on the landscape of rPO market would be of interest, please reach out - henric.xherimeja@woodmac.com Key themes explored in this edition include: - The impact of waste management routes, such as incineration and landfilling on growth of recycling - The growth of chemical recycling capacities, and challenges that restrict growth of pyrolysis - Global dynamics that impact trade of recycled material and of waste material - Supply and demand gaps and a prognosis on development of the global market amid political shifts and tensions. - The importance of quality differentiation and the role that pyrolysis will play in the market in the mid-long term view.

Did you know that Ansell set the goal to have all its manufacturing sites Zero Waste to Landfill by 2023? 🌱 Ansell's Zero-Waste Journey started when they set an ambitious goal to achieve ‘Zero Waste to Landfill by 2023’ for all their manufacturing sites* in December 2019. The target was an integral part of their journey to review waste management and generation, operational efficiency and manage the ‘end-of-life solutions’ of the materials and inputs they use in their manufacturing processes. 📢 Today, they’re proud to announce that they’ve reached their goal with two additional Ansell manufacturing sites being Zero Waste to Landfill certified - Portugal and Nitritex (Malaysia)! Curious to learn more about Ansell's Zero Waste to Landfill journey? Dive into the details: https://ow.ly/vwWQ50R0hRq *Note: This achievement is based on the 12 sites Ansell had when they set this goal in December 2019, excluding the Kovai and Seremban sites. Eurosafe distributors of Ansell products: http://ow.ly/nBwq50FrsOE Ansell is a supply partner of Eurosafe. #SustainabilityMatters #ZeroWasteCertified #AnsellProtects

Global generation of e-scrap is expected to soar from 41.2 million tonnes in 2016 to almost 54 million tonnes by the year 2025. By recycling this waste, important metals such as copper, gold, silver, palladium and platinum can be recovered, which will help to reduce the reliance on primary mined materials and can lessen the environmental impact of the industry. To get the most accurate and reliable results, you need an expert. Alfred H Knight helps organisations determine the recyclable content of their e-waste by combining generations of experience and knowledge with a global network of laboratories.

Want to know how we will move away from using fossil-based raw material? This one steps towards that and great progress on advancing our circular strategy.

Leading the Way in Waste Reduction: Chemtrade's Earth Day Commitment 🌎 Happy Earth Day from Chemtrade! 🌱 Our mission to reduce landfill wastes is stronger than ever. For over a decade, many Chemtrade sites have been diverting industrial wastes from landfills. By 2025, we're aiming to slash an additional 20% off our 2021 baseline! A prime example of our commitment is our Toledo, OH water chemical site, which has been paving the way in innovative waste management practices. Since 2019, the site has been diverting industrial wastes from landfills and sending them to a cement manufacturing plant for beneficial reuse. Thanks to these efforts, over 5 million kg (11 million lbs) of material have already been saved from ending up in landfills! 🙌 We're especially pleased to share that this project has been recognized with the 2024 Award for Excellence from the Ohio Chemistry Technology Council 🏆✨ At Chemtrade, sustainability isn't just a goal — it's a commitment to action. Join us in celebrating Earth Day by reducing waste and finding new ways to make strides toward a greener, more sustainable future! 💚🌿 Read more about our sustainability goals here: https://lnkd.in/eQJBvSgQ   #Chemtrade #EarthDay #EarthSavingMonth #SustainabilityMonth #WasteReduction #Innovation #AwardWinning #MakingADifference

Cemex and waste management company Silverwoods are successfully supporting the #CircularEconomy by utilising By-Pass Dust (BPD) from our Rugby cement kiln for agricultural purposes. Since 2015, nearly 130,000 tonnes of BPD has been recovered through the partnership. BPD is ideal for use on farmland due to its high potassium and lime content meaning it can provide a direct sustainable replacement for traditional fertilisers and lime. 🚜Additionally, by re-using BPD, Cemex has been able to dramatically reduce the amount of process by-product it landfills; this figure is now zero. Contributing to the circular economy is a key pillar of Cemex’s climate action strategy #FutureinAction, which has set a global target to become a net zero company by 2050. ♻️💚 Read the full press release here: https://brnw.ch/21wDSJW
