The Portland Cement Association (“PCA”) announced the 2020 Energy and Environment Award winners.
The Ash Grove Cement Company (a CRH Company) Midlothian, Texas plant was selected.
Ash Grove also operates a cement manufacturing plant in Foreman, Arkansas.
PCA states that the Energy and Environment awards recognize:
. . . outstanding environmental and community relations efforts that go above and beyond what is required. Submissions from plants across the U.S. were evaluated and recognized for environmental efforts completed in 2019.
The Ash Grove plant received an award under the category of “Environmental Performance.” PCA states that the Ash Grove Midlothian plant:
. . . received air permits and operated a whole tire burning system utilizing a first-in-the-U.S. “hot disk” system that is supplied with whole tires from a nearby tire recycling company. This system helps reduce tire disposal to landfills while also displacing fossil fuel consumption at the plant.
