Republic Cement to use plastic waste for fuel

Republic Cement confirmed that under this partnership plastic waste would be processed through ecoloop, the cement producer's official co-processing and resource recovery group.

ACS President, Lourdes Supetran, commented on the parnership: "ACS is proud to enter into this partnership with Republic Cement and ecoloop. We are confident that, through this partnership, we will continue to live up to our mission of being responsible manufacturers while doing our part in caring for the environment."

Qualified waste will be shredded and used by Republic Cement as alternative fuel through co-processing. By-products from the plastic waste are incorporated into the final cement product, preventing them from harming the environment via landfills or waterways

ecoloop Director, Angela Edralin-Valencia, stated: "Republic Cement remains committed to addressing the pervasive plastic pollution problem in the country by collaborating with various organisations and LGUs for proper waste disposal."

“Republic Cement fully understands its environmental responsibility and our role in supporting our partners in complying with the EPR Law,” said Republic Cement CEO Roman Menz, “through partnerships such as this, we continue to make strides toward achieving a zero-waste future for a greener, stronger Republic.”
