This scrap will be transferred to its industrial waste treatment plant near the Oggaz cement plant in Mascara province. The facility is designed to process an average of 2 tons of industrial waste per day.In addition to preserving iron ore and combating industrial pollution in Algeria, this recycling project will also enable the production of electricity for the operation of Lafarge’s plants.
