Rugby Cement plant is continuously looking to reduce its environmental impact.  During the site’s history multiple projects have been completed to reduce emissions to air, improve energy efficiency and reduce waste sent to landfill.

The latest of these initiatives has been to reduce plastic waste generated on site in the form of single use plastic cups.

Initial research identified that over 180,000 plastic cups were being used on an annual basis at the Cement plant. As a result of this research the plant decided to replace plastic cups at water dispensers with paper cones. However, it was also identified that multiple plastic cups were being used in order to hold hot drinks. To counter act this, the site’s workforce have each been issued with a CEMEX branded mug.

Initial feedback has been positive, and the idea has helped the site to support the reduction of plastic waste going to landfill.
