Togo: Cimtogo, the Togo-based subsidiary of the Heidelberg Materials, has launched Ecocim, an ‘environmentally-friendly cement’ that replaces its Super Rapide product while boasting a reduced CO2 footprint. The low-clinker blend emits 467kg of CO2/t, down by 4% from 485kg/t, with similar strength and technical performance. The company says that this reduction will represent a significant reduction in emissions if the product is used at scale.
The Ecocim product is also the first in Togo to meet the country’s new TGN 002 standard. "Ecocim embodies Cimtogo's commitment to supporting the evolution of the construction sector and promoting more responsible solutions," explained Cimtogo’s managing director Ebenezer Anim Somuah.
