Succesful verification AC Minerals technology
LANDFILLING AVOIDEDAt our request, DNV carried out another verification in January 2026, and once again with a successful result for our MACMA® reactive cement fines that replace >70% clinker. This time, our renewed three-step AC Mineral process was the focus: mechanical, chemical, and thermal. The result is clear and irreversible: all asbestos fibers recrystallize, leaving only silicates behind. Ready for circular recovery of super-clean cement with high continuous strength development.
This is also good news for cement producers, who will be watching with keen interest their 600 million tonnes of potential raw materials that are currently inaccessible. According to an EU report, more than 600 million tonnes of asbestos cement will need to be remediated in the coming decades, without sufficient landfill capacity being available. With our AC Minerals technology, these circular raw materials can become available again in all EU Member States.
