Cemex and Regenera Mexico Trust in Lindner’s Shredding Experience for RDF Production

Published: 16/6, 2023

In Mexico, waste, including industrial waste, is still frequently disposed of in landfill sites. Regenera, a Cemex subsidiary, focuses on developing circular economy solutions for the waste industry. The recycling pioneer Lindner and its local sales & service partner, GTA Ambiental, actively support this project with their on-site recycling machinery and service.

Mexico produces 100,000t of waste every day, most of which is landfilled. To help reduce the volume of industrial waste from this cycle, Regenera, a Cemex subsidiary, has established ten waste collection centers throughout the country. At its flagship plant, the Monterrey waste recovery facility, Regenera relies on the experience of recycling pioneer Lindner and its sales and service partner GTA Ambiental to help to transform non-recyclable material into refuse-derived fuel.

From 2011 to December 2022, Regenera recovered more than 4.9 million metric tons of municipal solid, industrial, and commercial waste. The resulting refuse-derived fuel is produced specifically for energy recovery in cement plants and must therefore meet high-quality standards. These vital criteria include density, energy, and moisture content, and particle size in particular, a challenge that can be reliably met with Lindner’s technology and GTA Ambiental.

By producing high-calorific refuse-derived fuels, Regenera, also actively contributes to reducing the carbon footprint. By 2050, Cemex aims to neutralize these emissions, which is also the focus of the Future in Action initiative, a sustainability program founded by Cemex. The objective is to play a pioneering role in climate protection within this industry.
