Adapting the legal framework for the co-processing of waste in the cement industry : application of capacity works, update and lessons learned from the Dominican Republic

Abstract

Adapting the legal framework of the Dominican Republic’s legislation on waste is a precondition for co-processing in the cement industry in order to comply with international standards and environmental good practice, safeguard investments in co-processing and promote a circular economy–a requirement for the economic use of residue-derived fuels. Hence, one component of the ZACK Project is to support the Dominican Republic’s institutions in adapting the legal framework on waste management to support co-processing.
