VIEWPOINT


The typical use of fossil fuels to heat cement kilns across industry are responsible for approximately 40% of direct CO2 emissions of the cement manufacture process. Replacing fossil fuels entirely through alternative fuels such as waste derived fuels, hydrogen and solar energy is a gamechanger in the industry’s efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Cemex is firmly committed to the use of alternative fuels across Europe and in the UK at our trailblazing Rugby plant, with other large-scale adoption sites coming soon.


Industry-first net-zero concrete


In the UK, the revised concrete standards will serve to keep us on track with our decarbonisation goals to meet customer needs, without compromising on performance. Following the introduction of Cemex’s industry- first net-zero CO2 concrete and lower carbon cement products in 2020, we have the ongoing responsibility to deliver lower


carbon products at scale. Globally we recently set an ambitious goal for our Vertua lower-carbon cement and concrete products of reaching more than half of all cement and concrete sales by 2025.


Packaging Waste Directive


The Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) came into force on 1st January 2023 and signalled strong intent by UK Govt for all industries to deliver a more circular economy and take greater responsibility for the packaging they place on the UK market, at the end of its life.


EPR now requires producers


to pay the full costs of dealing with the waste they produce, which includes the cost of collection, treatment, and of course recycling. It is hoped the new regulations will lower the environmental impact of products throughout their life cycle, as well as the amount of packaging produced in the first place. In


turn this will reduce the impact of packaging waste in landfill and increase the amount of packaging waste that is recycled. Cemex has been making sustainable improvements to its packaging for over a decade. In 2012, Cemex was the first cement company in the world to provide verified carbon labels for its cements produced in the UK. We continue to invest heavily across the business to enable us to make rigorous improvements, from new and improved packaging and labelling solutions, to localised interventions such as 100% paperless delivery systems for our Readymix business, through to major plant investments.


Energy Management System


In order to increase energy efficiency and performance across our UK operations, Cemex has committed to improved standards with the roll out of the ISO 50001 Energy Management System. This is an international standard


created by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) which specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and improving an energy management system. It enables organisations to follow a systematic approach in achieving continual improvement of energy performance, including energy efficiency, energy security and energy use and consumption.


Our Future In Action Cemex’s Future in Action environmental strategy was relaunched in 2020 to reflect a robust commitment to developing and providing more sustainable products and services so that the built world of the future is more sustainable and circular. Our Future In Action programme is continuously pioneering ways to reduce Cemex’s environmental impact whilst providing merchants and customers with a broad range of sustainable products and solutions.
