Caribbean Cement to invest in co-processing tyres 22 July 2019
Jamaica: Caribbean Cement plans to invest in co-processing tyres as part of a US$9m spend on capital projects in 2019. More details on the project will be disclosed later in July 2019 when a memorandum of understanding is signed with the government, according to the Gleaner newspaper. The subsidiary of Mexico’s Cemex has already spent US$0.5m on handling tyres.
UK: Andusia has formed a partnership with Mid UK Recycling to export over 20,000t/yr of solid-recovered fuel (SRF) to two unnamed cement plants in the Mediterranean region. Mid UK Recycling is part of Beauparc Group. It incorporates Panda and Greenstar in Ireland and Mid-UK Recycling, WSR, Scotwaste and AWM in the UK. The group produces over 0.5Mt/yr of SRF.
“We have been assisting Mid UK Recycling with their RDF offtake in recent years and are delighted to now be able to take their SRF as an alternative fuel. They are such a like-minded company, passionate about the future of waste management and diverting from UK landfill and we look forward to working with them going forward,” said Stewart Brackenbury, director and founder of Andusia.
