PLASTICS SUSTAINABILITY AWARD

摘要

LAFARGE CANADA INC. is a Toronto-based supplier of materials for the construction industry. "At locations across Canada, the company has worked to reduce C02 emissions, restore wetlands for native plants and animals, and identify waste materials that can be recycled and used at their operations," CPIA said. "Over the past five years, Lafarge has been working towards its goal of reducing fuel-based carbon emissions by 30 per cent - one of the most comprehensive lower carbon fuel programs in the world. This work has led to a growing focus on the potential role of non-recycled plastics and related mixed plastic/fibre composites in the manufacture of cement. Where feasible, Lafarge believes that plastics should be recycled into new plastic products such that these products are also produced in the most sustainable way possible."
