Dominican Republic: Cemex Dominicana has announced the signing of a new sustainability agreement with food producer Nestlé Dominicana. Under the agreement, Cemex Dominicana will co-process Nestlé Dominicana's non-recyclable high-calorific solid industrial waste as alternative fuel (AF) in its cement plant.

Cemex's Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Haiti regional director José Antonio Cabrera said "This agreement with Nestlé allows us to continue promoting our Future in Action strategy by operating our cement plant with AF." He concluded "We are committed to becoming a net-zero CO₂ company."

Dominican Republic: Alejandro Ramirez, the president of Cemex Dominicana, has welcomed the approval of a new waste management law, including support for the co-processing of alternative fuels. Earlier in 2018 a bill on solid waste management was introduced to the government that promoted co-processing solid waste and implementing a selective tax on products that create it.
