Evolve Investments & Projects Management, has become the first green fuels firm to secure approvals from the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA) and the Waste Management and Regulatory Authority (WMRA). 

 

These environmental approvals will enable Evolve, an affiliate of Arabian Cement Company (ACC), to engage with a diverse range of alternative fuel suppliers & materials, surpassing constraints and guaranteeing optimal quality and supply rates. In the context of increasing demand for alternative fuels within the cement industry, the approvals signify a transformative shift towards sustainable practices. 

 

“This accomplishment is a pivotal moment for Arabian Cement company and its affiliate, Evolve, and is a milestone in our unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship and regulatory compliance,” said Sergio Alcantarilla, CEO of Arabian Cement Company. “It positions us to collaboratively engage with a broader spectrum of alternative fuel suppliers and materials, solidifying our role as an industry leader and trailblazer in sustainable practices within the industry."

 

Stringent compliance

In stringent compliance with the legal requisites outlined by Law 202, and amid intensive inspection campaigns on waste production and handling entities, ACC initiated the necessary procedures to obtain these approvals for both the company and its fully-owned affiliate, Evolve Investments & Project Management.

 

Further underscoring ACC's commitment to transparent and inclusive environmental practices, Evolve Investments & Project Management hosted a Public Hearing session to discuss the environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the collection, transportation, and handling of all hazardous and non-hazardous waste. 

 

This strategic initiative aligns with ACC's environmental policy, ensuring the secure disposal of waste in cement kilns and advancing the company’s commitment to burning waste instead of landfilling to reduce reliance on fossil fuels which is one of the main pillars to abatement GHG and carbon emission reduction.--TradeArabia News Service
