Environmental agency Basque County in dire need for definitive solution
LANDFILLING AVOIDEDIn Spain, there is a great awareness of the growing asbestos problem and the decreasing availability of landfills that increasingly refuse to accept asbestos. A delegation from the environmental service Ihobe from the Basque Country visited the AC Minerals pilot plant in Spijkenisse with the desire to find a definitive solution as soon as possible. We are doing our best to be operational on an industrial scale in 2027, simply because that must be possible!
Valuable raw material transition with dissolving worldwide asbestos problem
It seemed like a worldwide problem that was impossible to solve. But the Asbeter team has now secured a second patent for the safe processing of cement contaminated with asbestos fibres. The developed deep-tech-cleantech AC Minerals process represents a worldwide breakthrough for tackling the asbestos problem. It is an alkaline process that only needs water and energy to denature the asbestos fibers from, for example, roof plates and pipes. This means that 100% of the material no longer needs to be landfilled, but can serve as a raw material again as reactive calcium silicates for the cement and concrete industry, the paint industry and the industry for chemical catalysis carriers. No emissions to air or water, no nitrogen and 57,000 tonnes of CO2-neutral raw CSM materials for clinker replacement available every year!
