Environmental / "Mwan" Completes the First Experiment in the Kingdom of Iron Slag as Recycled Materials in the Cement Industry

بيئي / "موان" ينهي أول تجربة في المملكة لخبث الحديد كمواد معاد تدويرها في صناعة الأسمنت

The National Center for Waste Management (Mwan) announced completion of the Kingdom's first research trial using iron slag, a steel-industry byproduct, as an additive in ordinary Portland cement (OPC), supporting sustainability and circular economy principles. The five-month trial, conducted with Riyadh Cement Company under the Center's full supervision, used 1,273.88 tons of iron slag; results showed that adding 1%-2% iron slag improves cement properties, confirming the feasibility of using this industrial byproduct to reduce waste and lower carbon emissions.
