Benin: HeidelbergCement’s subsidiary Cimbenin has removed two polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) transformers from its grinding plant in Cotonou. The toxic components will be disposed of by a French company, according to the La Nation newspaper. The Société Nationale de Ciment (SONACI) installed the transformers in 1977. Subsequently Cimbenin bought the unit in 1991 and put the affected equipment into storage in 2012. The decision to remove the transformers was part of the company’s ISO 14001-2004 certification, which it obtained in 2012.
