Summary site information collated from a variety of sources.
Overview
WikiWaste has used the website Cement Plants and Kilns in Britain and Ireland[1] extensively for the reference material for each individual cement kiln page. The detail on this reference website is extensive and as WikiWaste is focused upon the UK waste and resource market, only the key highlights are captured from this website (and company websites accordingly) to provide background and context. Aberthaw started manufacturing clinker in May 1914 (with only Rugby being older in the UK) and up to 2015 had produced 33 million tonnes of clinker through 6 rotary kilns over this period.
