Adelaide Brighton Ltd > Sustainability

Greenhouse

The Company’s emission reduction actions include the direct measurement of stack gases and ambient dust monitoring in order to prepare dust reduction, greenhouse abatement and waste minimisation programs.

Environmental improvements are a focus of our business plans to reduce the effect of our operations on the environment by enclosing materials handling facilities, maintaining open site areas, paving yards and roadways, and developing of water catchment areas in garden settings.

Significant projects using biomass fuel as an alternative to natural gas and the development of low emission products have contributed to reducing the Company’s output of greenhouse gases.

Through the Cement Industry Federation, Adelaide Brighton voluntarily reports inventory data and abatement projects to the Greenhouse Challenge Plus Program.

Since 1990 the Company’s cement and lime division has reduced greenhouse gas emissions through the upgrading of technology and improving energy efficiency.

Our cement and lime operations report annually their contribution to the National Pollutant Inventory.
