In its push to become a more environmentally sustainable company, Carib Cement last July joined the National Environment and Planning Agency’s Adopt-a-Beach programme. Since then, the company has, among other things, recycled 500 kilogrammes of material and co-processed in the kiln roughly 1,000 kilogrammes of waste.
