Cemex in tyre agreement with General Motors

Cemex has reached an agreement with General Motors (GM) of Mexico to use non-recyclable waste from the carmaker’s manufacturing plant in San Luis Potosí in its kilns.

In exchange for the waste, Cemex will power GM’s thermoelectric generating plant. The step will allow both companies “to decrease consumption of non-renewable resources,” according to GM. It will also avoid the need to ship waste abroad.
