US: Titan America’s Essex cement distribution facility at the Port of Newark, New Jersey, has made its first dispatches of Type IL Portland limestone cement (PLC) to New Jersey and the New York Metropolitan Area. The producer said that the Essex terminal is due to complete its transition to 100% reduced-CO2 cement dispatches in 2022. Titan America says that it is the leading supplier of Type IL PLC on the US domestic market.
Sales Manager Joe Tedesco said “We see an increase in demand as infrastructure money is budgeted by transportation agencies requiring construction with the use of lower-carbon cement.”
