Product Development

Promoting health, safety and environmental management of our products is an important part of training customers and distributors in product management to achieve optimum
and safe utilisation.

We have successfully implemented measures to reduce the amount and effect of packaging on the environment. This has resulted in the identification of new initiatives in the recycling and types of packaging materials used.

Product stewardship program

Adelaide Brighton Cement and Cockburn Cement packaging initiatives include:

production of all bag products to 20-kilogram bags by mid 2006 to assist with manual handling of product;
optimisation of pallet packing of 20-kilogram bags to provide safer product handling, minimising shrink wrapping and improve stock management;
moving from three-ply paper to two-ply paper for all 20-kilogram and 30-kilogram bags; and
reduction in the use of bleached kraft paper.
