Semen Merah Putih is committed to sustainability-focused initiatives throughout the entire product lifecycle, from upstream to downstream. Through these efforts, the company aims not only to meet high-quality standards but also to contribute to sustainability goals and drive innovation in the construction industry.
Initiatives for an integrated production process focused on reducing carbon emissions, being eco-friendly, and utilizing renewable energy:
Carbon Emission Reduction Initiatives
- Energy-efficient equipment: We utilize advanced machinery and automation systems to lower energy consumption.
- Carbon capture and storage: We implement CCS technology to capture and store CO2 emissions.
- Material optimization: We use alternative raw materials with a smaller carbon footprint, such as slag or fly ash.
- Transport efficiency: We employ electric or low-emission vehicles to minimize CO2 emissions from transportation.
Eco-Friendly and Renewable Energy Initiatives
- Sustainable sourcing: We ensure that raw materials are sourced sustainably while considering environmental impacts.
- Waste management: We repurpose industrial waste to generate electricity and store excess renewable energy in battery systems.
This approach supports long-term sustainability and reduces the environmental footprint of our production process.
Product
Our primary commitment to sustainability involves continuous innovation to reduce the carbon footprint of our cement and its derivatives. This includes enhancing energy efficiency in production, implementing the latest technologies, using alternative fuels, and incorporating alternative cement materials.
Semen Merah Putih focuses on sustainability in every step of production (upstream & downstream) through:
- Lower Clinker Use
By reducing the amount of clinker, we cut CO2 emissions and improve sustainability. We use additives like slag and fly ash to replace some clinker, lowering carbon emissions while improving product strength and quality. - Low-Carbon Materials
We use eco-friendly raw materials that produce fewer carbon emissions, helping to reduce the overall environmental impact. - Value-Added Solutions
Our products not only meet quality standards but also offer extra benefits like greater strength, durability, and long-term cost savings.
These efforts show our commitment to producing eco-friendly, efficient, and innovative products.
