Siam City Cement’s EcoSiam changes its name
Siam City Cement (SCCC) has renamed its EcoSiam business unit Geocycle, in line with the policy of its major shareholder, Holcim, to focus more on waste management under a global brand that abides by international standards, The Nation reports.
"This change is a major step to assure all of our practices will continue to meet international standards," said Geocycle general manager Ghassan Broummana.
"Moreover, being part of the Geocycle global network, we have a unique line of access to the expertise and experience within our network facilities in more than 35 countries."
SCCC is a unit of the Holcim.
SCCC established EcoSiam, a dedicated business unit responsible for alternative fuels and raw materials, in 2005 at a time when Thailand’s industrial-waste output was increasing.
It is estimated that the Kingdom generates more than 10Mt of industrial waste each year. Published under Cement News
