Manufacturing & Lifecycle
Manufacturing Process
Dry process rotary kiln with cyclone preheater; clinker production at >1400°C; grinding and mixing with sulfate carrier; storage in silos.
Packaging
Mostly bulk delivery; small share as paper bags with PE shrink film and wooden pallets (not included in EPD).
Transport
By truck or rail, mostly to local markets.
End of Life
Not considered in EPD; disposal as hardened cement like concrete waste.
