Cemex says its Santa Rosa cement plant in Colombia is its first facility in the South, Central America and the Caribbean (SCAC) region to attain water self-sufficiency.
Cemex has set a 2030 target to cut freshwater consumption in its cement operations by 20%
The building materials giant adds that the plant independently meets its water requirements using a 9,000 cubic meter reservoir, constantly replenished thanks to rainwater, runoff, and water circulation devices.
The move aligns with the company's Water Management Roadmap, a critical facet within the Future in Action programme.
The achievement takes Cemex closer to its 2030 target of reducing freshwater consumption in cement operations by 20%.
