HOLCIM Philippines is investing P370 million to build storage and feeding facilities to raise to 40 percent the usage of low-carbon alternative fuels and raw materials of its cement plant in Bacnotan, La Union.
The facilities are set to be completed by the second half of 2025.
The new facilities will strengthen Holcim’s positive contribution to northern Luzon with the Bacnotan plant’s consumption of qualified materials from municipalities and the agricultural sector supporting waste management and providing additional income to local farmers.
Sinoma CBMI PH Construction Corp. will build the facilities. It is the Philippine unit of China-based Sinoma CBMI, which has undertaken cement plant projects all over the world.
This marks the third collaboration between Sinoma CBMIPH and Holcim Philippines since 2021.
Holcim Philippines is a pioneer of co-processing, a government-approved and globally recognized waste management technology that repurposes qualified discarded materials into alternative low-carbon fuels and raw materials for cement production.
In 2023, the company co-processed over a million tons of waste as alternative fuels and raw materials. Among the beneficiaries of Holcim Philippines’ co-processing operations are 71 city and municipal governments committed to sustainable waste management.
