Oman Cement to co-process tyres

Oman: Oman Cement has signed a memorandum of understanding with Oman Environmental Services Holding Company (Be'ah), a government-owned solid waste management company. The deal covers using tyres from Be’ah’s waste collection sites to use in the cement producer’s kilns, according to the Oman Daily Observer. Around 45,000t of ‘end-of-life’ tyres are collected in the country each year, particularly in Dhofar Governorate. In 2017 Be’ah invited proposals to recycle and/or dispose of the excess tyres.
