PCA: cement industry honors leaders in environmental improvement
Five cement plants received special recognition for their commitment to improving the environment and their communities at the Seventh Annual Cement Industry Environment and Energy Awards, presented by Portland Cement Association (PCA) and Cement Americas magazine, at the PCA’s Spring Meeting in Chicago, April 29, 2008 (see also Portland Cement Association).
The awards honor individual cement facilities that exemplify the spirit of continuous environmental improvement and support this spirit with action. These plants went beyond government regulations and local laws to ensure that their processes and policies contributed to making their communities better places to live and work.
"The cement industry is dedicated to producing a superior product while continuously challenging manufacturing policies and procedures to minimize our environmental footprint," said Brian McCarthy, PCA president/CEO. "The activities at these plants are an example of putting this commitment into practice." Published under Cement News
