SUSTAINABILITY

Our Roanoke plant has a well-established reputation for maintaining best practice in environmental management performance, which is underlined by our commitment to using the Best Available Technologies. We continue to seek improvement, and in 2015, we made an investment of 18.7 million euros that offers even greater benefits for the local environment. Roanoke Cement updated its existing filters with the latest large bag filters to reduce dust emissions from the air stream leaving its facility. Not only have we further reduced the particulate dust emissions through this project, but the collected particulates can also be returned to the production process.
