Shellcem project introduces oyster shell as an alternative to limestone in cement manufacturing. This project involves collecting oyster shells generated from consumer consumption at hotels and restaurants. They are transported directly to the cement plant.
As rubber tyre contains a considerable amount of energy, the waste tyres are used as an alternative fuel to coal in cement manufacturing after being crushing down into powder. This practice supports the heating requirements of cement kiln.
