Circular Economy and Sustainability in the Cement Sector Seminar within the Scope of DIGITALCEM Cements with Admixtures

Fighting climate change is now one of the priority agenda topics of not only countries but also all industrial institutions. To be able to reach the 2050 targets, a low carbon economy aiming at low carbon emissions, efficient use of resources, and increase of social benefit are extremely important for sustainable development.

The cement industry that supplies one of the most important inputs of the construction sector has been implementing numerous effective solutions to decrease its carbon footprint in line with sustainable development targets and taken its place in the circular economy in recent years. All stakeholders must act together to reach those goals in a timely manner and at the desired level.
