Cement Industry: Increased Sustainability Action
Although there have been significant improvements across the cement industry globally, the report calls for the urgent implementation of effective policies which promote the use of otherwise non-recyclable municipal and industrial waste as sustainable alternative fuels for cement kilns, as well as using construction demolition waste as recycled raw materials.

EnviroMix uses Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag (GGBS), a by-product of the iron and steel-making industries as a replacement for some of the Cement content in the Concrete. Designed to replace up to 50% of the Cement, GGBS is widely considered a more sustainable option compared to other Cement substitutes and significantly reduces the environmental impact, conserving natural resources for future generations.
