The waste management unit was inaugurated Friday, the company said in a press release Monday.

Waste co-processing at the plants operated by Lafarge Romania started in 2002 and developed yearly. The company’s cement plants in Hoghiz and Medgidia have integrated environmental permits which allow them to co-process over 100 types of waste.

Lafarge entered the Romanian market 15 years ago. (EUR1=RON4.5757)
