Eco Material Technologies opens low-carbon cement manufacturing facility in Oregon
Eco Material Technologies has opened a low-carbon cement manufacturing facility in Lakeview, Oregon. The company, which produces green cement products and supplementary cementitious materials, invested in the Lakeview Plant to create 30 newjobs in southern Oregon.
The facility is designed to produce up to 300,000 tons per year of low-carbon cement replacements, which reduce the carbon footprint of concrete mixes by up to 80%. Located adjacent to Lake County’s freight rail line, the plant will ship approximately 75% of its product via rail. This new operation is part of the company’s larger national expansion to supply over 10 million tons of environmentally beneficial materials across 40 metro areas in North America.
