The cement manufacturing process is engergy intensive, very large quantities of fuel are required to produce the high temperatures needed to turn limestone and other materials into cement. Cement manufacturing companies have not been required by the EPA to utilize pollution control equipment OR pollution monitoring systems. Some companies even go so far as to throw tires, auto battery casings, roofing tiles, diaper ends, and hazardous waste into the kilns...The cement manufacturers claim that the high temperaturatures destroy the organic compounds in the hazardous waste and burning "non-traditional" fuels such as tires reduces the amount of harmful substances in landfills. But are the cement companies (who, as I mentioned, go relatively unregulated) technologically capable of disposing of such hazardous material? I think not.
There are 23 waste-burning cement plants in the US. All 23 facilities frequently use terms such as "recycling", or "co-processing" and deem the waste to be supplemental fuel...instead of using all that coal...
Titan America/Carolinas Cement Company has stated that they want to seek permits to burn tires as fuel.
