GREEN CEMENT PRODUCED FROM WASTE
PLANTECO has acquired rights to produce and market newly developed
GREEN CEMENT manufactured from waste materials (waste paper sludge ash
and waste glass). Green cement is entirely made from waste material
and does not require the addition or partial substitution of Portland
cement. Besides its potential use by the construction industry in the
manufacture of concrete and mortar, the new Green cement has other potential
uses.
Unlike Portland cement, Green cement has a very high resistance to chemical
attack making it better cement for the stabilization of hazardous wastes,
cement for concrete works in chemically aggressive environments such
as sea water, and cement for stabilization of soils (sulfate rich soils),
general earth and foundation works.
Green cement will enable for the reduction in the demand for natural
resources, reduction in energy demand, and reduction in the requirement
for landfill space. Green cement can be produced more economically than
Portland cement. In practice this will lead to a reduction in the cost
of manufacture of cement products and subsequently lead to a reduction
in the cost of construction projects.
