ANGULO, P.  e  OCHOA, C.. Sustainability strategies for increased competitiveness in the Mexican cement industry. Rev. ALCONPAT [online]. 2023, vol.13, n.2, pp.254-270.  Epub 09-Maio-2024. ISSN 2007-6835.  https://doi.org/10.21041/ra.v13i2.637.

The objective of this research is to identify and discuss the most eco-efficient sustainable strategies for utilizing or reducing emissions of NOx, SOx, and SiO2 dust in cement manufacturing, in order to improve competitiveness in the Mexican cement industry. The research design was qualitative, observational, and deductive. Results showed that SOx waste bioreactors have greater eco-efficiency, followed by domes for capturing and utilizing SiO2 and bag filters. These strategies are effective for specific contaminants derived from cement production. This study delves into a scarcely addressed topic in Mexico: cement sustainability. By applying these strategies, the Mexican cement sector would boost its business competitiveness.
