PozGlass is a replacement for\n \n Portland\n \n cement and fly ash from coal plants, which are now used in concrete and release large amounts of CO\n \n 2\n \n in the manufacturing process.\n \n \n The cement industry currently emits more than 8 percent of global CO\n \n 2\n \n . When PozGlass is used at a cement plant, it is expected to dramatically reduce emissions by sequestering CO\n \n 2\n \n and being mixed with\n \n Portland\n \n cement at up to a 50% ratio.\n \n \n \"This initiative aligns with our organization's vision to inspire and accelerate innovation in recycling technology,\" says\n \n Sam Baker\n \n ,\n \n Western Canada\n \n Director - Post Collection and Material Regeneration at Recycle BC.\n \n \n Added\n \n Ian Grant\n \n , the COO of Progressive Planet: \"Our objective is to help the cement industry ...
