Why does recyclability matter when considering pipe materials? Aren’t factors such as performance capabilities and cost the overriding considerations? Most often, the answer is simple; the best, most capable, long-term, cost-effective pipe available is ductile iron pipe. But did you know that ductile iron is also the only primary full-size-range piping product made from recycled material? Read our article about recyclability and what it means for the utility industry: https://lnkd.in/efJnYzEn #setitandforgetit #ironstrong

Cementing Smart Solutions 💡 One of the cement plants we collaborate with demonstrates how innovative use of slag can transform not only production processes but also sustainability metrics. This plant, constructed by a company with expertise in large-scale slag recycling, has embedded circular economy principles into its operations from the outset. By incorporating 30% mixed slag sourced from an old slag dump into its cement production, the plant has achieved remarkable results. Impact at a Glance: 👉 Carbon Footprint Reduction: By integrating slag into the cement mix, the plant has cut its CO₂ emissions by 20%—a significant step toward decarbonization in an energy-intensive industry. 👉 Waste Utilization: The slag, once considered a liability and left unused in a dump, is now a valuable resource contributing to high-performance cement. This is a powerful example of how using by-products can improve efficiency and reduce the need for traditional raw materials. By adding mixed slag to their process, the cement plant has found a smart way to handle waste and boost production. 🧐 Curious how slag could work for your business? Let’s find the right solution together! #smartscrap #slag #mixedslag #cementindustry #slagrecycling #greencement #wastetoresource #metallurgicalwaste #decarbonization #slagmanagement #alternativematerials #cement

When we tell people that we make Alternative Fuel from traditionally non-recyclable materials, they are impressed - but unless you’re in the cement production industry, it's hard to imagine what AF is or looks like. Hopefully, the video helps. This is a load of our Alternative Fuel, called LJP ReFuel™, being delivered to a Midwest cement kiln. Because it is finely shredded, the material can be blown through a piping system directly into the kiln to be burned. LJP ReFuel™ is a biogenically carbon rich alternative fuel that powers industrial boilers and kilns, reducing their reliance on fossil fuels like natural gas and coal, while dramatically lowering carbon emissions. LJP ReFuel™ meets the US EPA criteria for designation as a Non-Hazardous Secondary Material [NHSM] and is, therefore, exempt from Solid Waste Regulations. ♻ Why is Alternative Fuel so important and valuable? 2 Words - Carbon Reduction. The cement and aggregate production industries contribute up to 7% of the world’s CO2. Using Alternative Fuels [AF] like LJP ReFuel™, made from high BTU pre and post-consumer materials can reduce carbon emissions per ton of production by more than 100%. In addition, its use in cement kilns perfectly aligns with the growing desire for a circular economy solution because there is no residual waste material; everything is destroyed and becomes part of the cement product. Ideal LJP ReFuel™ material candidates include: ✅ Thin Film Wraps and Bags ✅ Flexible Plastics ✅ Pressure Sensitive Adhesives ✅ Release Liner ✅ Laminates ✅ Waxy Cardboard ✅ Automotive Trim Scrap ✅ Foams #LJP #ReFuel #AlternativeFuel #CarbonReduction #ReplaceFossilFuel

🌍 Transforming Cement Production: Reducing CO2 Emissions with Low-Temperature Belt Drying 🌍 As the cement industry grapples with the challenge of reducing carbon emissions while maintaining production efficiency, innovative solutions are crucial. STELA’s low-temperature belt drying technology offers a compelling answer, cutting CO2 emissions and lowering production costs. Cement production is responsible for up to 8% of global CO2 emissions. Rising energy costs and stringent environmental regulations highlight the need for more efficient technologies. STELA’s solution not only reduces energy consumption but also leverages waste heat, enhancing both environmental and economic outcomes.

Optimizing the use of resources is essential, not just idealistic. Component remanufacturing, especially in the cement industry, plays a critical role in improving operational efficiency. By remanufacturing vertical roller mill components, plants can significantly reduce waste, save energy, and reduce dependence on raw materials. This is in line with the principles of circular economy, which aims to maximize the life cycle of products and materials. Upgrading equipment through modernization strategies not only helps meet environmental regulations, but also extends the life of existing assets, reducing the need for new capital expenditures. This cost-effective strategy improves plant performance with manageable investments. #sustainability #cementindustry #remanufacturing #circulareconomy #energyconservation #wastereduction #modernization #resourceefficiency

Reusing and upgrading existing equipment in #aluminium production facilities represents an additional opportunity for energy conservation. ⚡ By upgrading ↗️ rather than replacing, Mechatherm International Limited can ▶️ extend equipment life spans, ▶️ improve process efficiency, and ▶️ reduce the environmental cost of manufacturing new machinery.

Paper & pulp factories are already switching to industrial heat pumps! In doing so, they are decarbonising and saving energy. We hear examples from Małgosia Rybak, EMBA from Cepi and Marco Baresi from Turboden S.p.A. What's more, these industrial heat pumps can use waste heat - making them even more efficient. #heatpumps4industry #industrialheatpumps
