The China Cement Association recently issued a recommendation to all qualified cement manufacturers, approved by the government’s environmental authority, should scientifically use cement kilns to carry out coordinated disposal. Under the organization of local governments, they should assist medical institutions in handling medical waste during COVID-19 epidemic period.

The co-processing technology of cement kiln has the advantages of large disposal capacity, safe disposal process, and environmental protection of disposal results. Up to now, there are 68 enterprises in China that have the qualification for co-processing of hazardous waste in cement kiln, covering 25 provinces and cities in China. After the COVID-19 epidemic occurred, Huaxin Cement Co., Ltd., as a leading cement manufacturer in Hubei Province, used the dry-process cement rotary kiln production line to co-process medical waste.

In order to do a good job of resuming production and production of cement production enterprises, China Cement Association puts forward the following three suggestions:

The first is to do a good job of epidemic prevention and safety in cement production enterprises. Insist on cooperating with government departments to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control, make scientific and reasonable arrangements for resuming production and resume production, and proactively declare to the local government department the preparations for resuming production and resume production. Cement production enterprises that have the conditions for resuming production and resuming production shall formulate an epidemic prevention code for resuming production and resume production, focusing on cleaning, disinfection, prevention and control of public places such as commuting roads and production posts, and putting the health and safety of employees first. It is necessary to do a good job in product logistics, especially in the prevention of epidemic prevention of cement, to prevent dead ends.

The second is to stabilize the price of cement is a political task for enterprises in the epidemic. The leaders of cement production enterprises must raise their political positions. After resuming production and resuming production, in addition to ensuring market supply, it is more important to stabilize cement prices as a political task to participate in winning the epidemic prevention and control war. Stabilizing the price of cement is a reflection of the company’s initiative to assume social responsibility, and it is also a need to maintain the overall interests of the industry.

The third is to actively use cement kilns to coordinately treat medical waste during epidemic prevention and control. Member units of the China Cement Association and research institutions with co-processing technology for cement kilns should provide necessary technical support to enterprises that carry out treatment of medical waste in cement kilns so that co-processing technology for cement kilns can make new contributions to the country in the prevention and control of epidemics.
