| Overseas Training on Co-Processing of Hazardous Waste material in Cement Production;
11-15 May 2009 |
Holcim Ltd. and GTZ have established a successful cooperation arrangement under a Private Public Partnership (PPP); agreement supported by the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) since 2003. The objective of this partnership is to ASEM Vol. 1, Issue 1, 2009 contribute towards a more ecological and economical management of selected waste materials in developing countries and countries in transition by elaborating internationally recognized Guidelines for co-processing of waste materials in cement kilns as an alternative form of waste treatment, promoting the dialogue between public authorities and private enterprises and raising awareness and building technical know-how in participating countries. However, the implementation of this know-how requires capacity building of the involved stakeholders and decision makers in order to achieve the full benefit of co-processing.
An exposure tour was organized for Public Authorities at national, regional and local levels and NGOs dealing with the issue of waste management and co-processing by University of Applied Sciences, Northwestern Switzerland.

The two main objectives of the training course was to provide an introductory training modules covering the entire range of co-processing (all 8 modules) to experts related to the subject on a national or international level and to test the training kit with regards to its structure & content with feedback from the participants on improvements.

Alternative Fuel and Raw Material (AFR) can play an important role in contributing towards
reducing fossil fuel use and costs with sustainable usage of natural resources, lowering CO2
emission, enhanced waste management and reduced pressure on landfill. The use of AFR in
energy intensive industries is called co-processing. The versatility of cement production
process enables the safe use of by-products from other industries as raw materials, fuels or
constituents of cement. To promote co-processing of waste in cement kilns GTZ and Holcim
Group Support Limited established a strategic alliance for preparing internationally recognized
Guidelines on “Co-Processing of Waste Materials in Cement Production”. The general
principles for co-processing are promoting waste hierarchy concept by environmentally sound
resource recovery options, additional emissions and negative impacts on human health to be
avoided, high quality cement production, industries engaged in co-processing should comply
environmental and safety norms and country specific requirements needs to be reflected in the
regulations.
