Various life cycle analyses demonstrate that co-processing has less negative environmental impacts than landfill. Co-processing doesn’t release any toxic substances to water and soil. The substitution with AFR avoids the negative environmental impact of mining fossil fuels and conserves natural resources. No additional emissions compared to traditional cement production will be created.
