Helping
sustainability
Other ways in which the £48m
investment in the new kiln will help the environment
• The
landfill site at Padeswood will be closed and re-landscaped.
• The
new kiln will ensure the future of the works and the nearby quarry,
keeping transport journeys down.
• Padeswood
is the only major cement producer in North Wales - without it, cement
would have to be transported longer distances into the region.

The
Best Way
Government and parliamentary reports have made clear that use in cement-making is one of the best ways of using waste tyres. The very high temperatures in the kiln totally burn the materials while acid gases and metals are removed because of the high alkaline conditions in the kiln. Ash is absorbed into the clinker which then forms the basis of the finished cement. Padeswood helps solve landfill crisis New processes used in the proposed new kiln at Padeswood would help the National Assembly solve a crisis over landfill sites. It would also meet many of the criteria laid down in the Assembly’s sustainable development policies. By burning used waste tyres, the new kiln would help address and avert a major problems whole tyres will be banned from landfill sites in 2003. Tyre fitting companies in North-east Wales have warned of a major crisis and say that the new kiln would help their businesses and also help the environment.
