MeneameMexican cement maker Holcim Apasco has co-processed 1Mt of waste over the last 11 years to power furnaces at its six cement plants, 90 ready-mix facilities and four aggregates plants, local news agency Notimex reported.
The company processes the waste under strictly controlled conditions, as is done in countries including Belgium, France, Germany, the US and Canada, which have been using this technology for more than 30 years.
Holcim Apasco has cut by 20% its energy consumption by replacing non-renewable fuels. It utilizes tires, used car oil, solvents and paints, among others within its production process.
The company has capacity to produce 11.3Mt a year of cement.
