CSR-Circular Economy

Cement industry is the heart of circular economy. Through 1450℃ of high temperature and other characteristics, the production process can reduce Toxic gas (such as dioxin). It will be helpful to reduced Greenhouse effect. That Waste of resources replace raw materials becomes possible through investing in R&D and managing in production process. We can not only reduce natural resource consumption but also keep product quality. This will be helpful to achieve circular economy.

Circular Economy

Results of Circular Economy for nine months ended on September 30, 2018

  1. Reduce 1,010 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

  2. Using flue gas desulfurization gypsum from power plants can reduce the imported natural gypsum 18,970 tons

  3. The use of waste oil and organic sludge instead of fuel use reduces coal consumption by approximately 1,113 tons.

  4. Soil from construction, contaminated farmland soil, water treatment sludge, coal ash, slag powder and waste cast sand can replace part of clay. It reduces clay consumption by approximately 40,820 tons. It is helpful to ensure the recycling of material resources, restrain natural resource consumption, reduce the environmental load, and make the industrial economy sustainable.
