This alternative fuel made from end-of-life tires presents a cost-efficient alternative for fossil fuels and can increase the profits of cement manufacturers, the company said. “Due to rapid urbanization, there is […]
Enviro’s rCB Reduces CO2 Emissions by Over 79 Percent – Better Than Earlier Estimates
Enviro’s recovered carbon black is demonstrably a good environmental choice, according to a new life-cycle analysis (LCA) from the IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute. Recovered carbon black leads to CO2eq emissions that are 79-84 percent lower than the emissions from the production of virgin carbon black – a figure considerably better than earlier estimates of […]
Recycled Construction Waste in Europe
The European construction industry is working towards producing high-quality materials from recycled waste, enhancing the sector’s sustainability and reducing its environmental impact.
