The Construction Materials Company (Medano) in Holguin stands out for its environmental leadership in industrial processes. Committing to cleaner production and the circular economy. In line with the demands of the current Cuban context.
Yudelkis Salcedo Fernández, the company’s technical director, told CNA that achieving business objectives is based on diversifying product offerings and customer satisfaction. With a focus on environmental stewardship.
Among the actions developed in this regard are environmental impact studies of processes. Damage prevention strategies, energy efficiency measures, waste management, and awareness programs.
Salcedo Fernández explained that they currently have a strategy approved by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment. Which includes an action plan to mitigate the effects of pollution in Nipe Bay. Along with a project based on sustainable consumption and the rational use of natural resources.
Waste management is carried out through the collection of used oils and the recycling of raw materials. Such as lead and steel scrap, paper, cardboard, and electronic components. In addition to implementing cleaner production practices based on circular economy principles.
As part of this policy, the company is diversifying its industrial lines. With alternatives that reduce dependence on conventional cement. Responding to market dynamics and decreasing its environmental footprint.
The tasks include the production of cement-free mortar, the development of red ceramic, and the preparation of cold asphalt concrete. Through the technological conversion of a former concrete pipe factory. With and without the addition of crushed black slag.
