Cement Replacements
that don't cost the Earth

Cenin’s cement replacement manufacturing technology is an innovative, award winning, tried, tested and patented, sustainable process. Cenin are currently manufacturing and delivering to end users two different types of cement product from recycled industrial manufacturing by-products:

Cenin are operating a manufacturing plant at Stormy down, Bridgend, Wales, UK using this low carbon technology. Production started in July 2008 and the product has been enthusiastically received by a number of major players in the construction industry. Due to anticipated future demand for the product it is envisaged that a second production facility will be constructed later this year.

Major Benefits

cenin low-carbon cement replacement manufacturing plant

The Technology

Developed from over 45 years of industrial knowledge combined with 15 years of university based research and testing in some of the UK’s leading academic institutions, the process involves no quarrying of raw materials, reduces landfill by utilising industrial manufacturing by-products , is economically advantageous to the user and significantly improves the performance of concrete and concrete products.

A Sustainable Technology

This is an award winning green technology truly reducing environmental damage by not using virgin materials, low energy inputs and local transportation, our technology leads to a truly sustainable cement process.

  • High performanceLeading edge technology
  • Produces a far superior product
  • Strength gains up to 25 % higher than any other competitive product

As part of the evaluation of materials that can be used in cement replacements, the patented technology we use, analyses each material under a fifteen point programme including at a range of different temperatures to insure no harmful emissions are produced or omitted during the process.

XRD and XRF analysis quality management

Using Cenin’s technology greenhouse gas emissions are dramatically reduced because the cement is manufactured from industrial by-products negating the need for quarrying raw materials.

our cement manufacturing plant

Cenin have developed a range of alternative cements from Industrial by-products that comply with all the requirements of EN196 standards. These materials were often land filled or stockpiled causing environmental damage.

Cenin is also pioneering the use of ultra low carbon energy sources such as biogas and renewable wind energy to further reduce CO2 emissions from its cement manufacturing process to practically zero.

Sites are available adjacent to our manufacturing plant at Stormydown for recycling businesses wishing to utilise the low carbon energy sources being generated nearby
