In 2019, the cement maker consumed over 170,000 tonnes of waste materials from communities and sectors as raw materials and alternative fuels.
The Manila Standard says that the firm will continue usage of raw materials and alternative fuels and drive co-processing operations to control the firm's costs and contribute to solving the waste management problems in the Philippines. The development was outlined by John Stull, Holcim Philippines CEO and president.
