ICR prepares for the IEEE-IAS/PCA Cement Industry Technical Conference and Exhibition in Grapevine, Dallas, Texas, USA 15-19 May by interviewing James Toscas, PCA’s president and CEO, on the role of the PCA and the current state of the US cement industry.

ICR: How would you decribe the role and main focus of the PCA today?
JT: Firstly, we want to maintain the success and the effectiveness of sustainability in the cement industry. There are several facets of that. Number one is to work with the regulators – whether it’s environmental regulations, water regulations or whatever they might be. Our role is to work with them to comment and to adhere to the changing regulatory environment.
