Republic Cement launches co-processing solution amid waste managment crisis

Leading local cement manufacturing and distribution company Republic Cement has officially launched ecoloop, its resource recovery group that aims to help address the waste management crisis of the country.

Co-processing is the reuse or recovery of thermal and mineral properties of qualified waste materials while manufacturing cement in a single combined operation. Through co-processing and the use of waste such as plastic or rice husk as alternative fuels, Republic can manufacture cement with reduced dependence on fossil fuels, such as coal.
