One of the most polluting companies in South Korea is seeking to reduce emissions by using waste plastic to fire its cement kilns instead of coal, a practice that has come under question in other parts of the world.
Ssangyong C&E Co., the nation’s biggest cement maker, is burning 3,000 tons of synthetic resin waste from used plastics, textiles and tires per day to run its plant in Donghae on South Korea’s east coast. The firm says the move has reduced its coal use by about 30%, though gross carbon emissions have fallen only 3.3% from 2018 levels.
