CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) announced today that it has
teamed up with Red Ambiental and Ocean Conservancy to help clean
Cancun’s beaches and use the collected waste as a more sustainable
alternative to fossil fuels at cement plants. This initiative is
part of Future in Action, CEMEX’s program to achieve carbon
neutrality.
“CEMEX is firmly committed to the circular economy by
integrating our value chain to the production of climate-friendly
fuels that we use in cement production. Cancun’s beaches are key to
Mexico’s tourism and a destination for millions of people
worldwide, we are proud to contribute to achieving cleaner
beaches,” said Ricardo Naya, President of CEMEX Mexico.
CEMEX, through its affiliate Pro Ambiente, the leading Mexican
waste management company, worked alongside Red Ambiental to clean
Playa Tortugas. Ocean Conservancy simultaneously cleaned Playa
Gaviota Azul. The collected waste from both efforts will be used as
a climate-friendly fuel to power CEMEX's operations in Mexico.
CEMEX takes advantage of the energy generated from the processed
waste to use in its plants. Thanks to this process, CO2 emissions
into the atmosphere are reduced by replacing fossil fuels, one of
the most significant contributors to global warming.
