Energy and resources demand in continuous growth

More than 8.5 mio tons of waste are generated each year. More than 80% is simply dumped or illegally burned.

Problems or opportunities ??

…..It depends how we face the

challenge..

� No incinerators

� Only 3 landfills for HW

Cement plants in Chile

The opportunity is there.

� 6 cement plants along the country, located close to main industrial areas.
