The TCL Group's pre­sen­ta­tion on its strate­gies for en­vi­ron­men­tal sus­tain­abil­i­ty was met with wide in­ter­est by at­ten­dees at the re­cent T&T Green Build­ing Coun­cil's 2014 Sem­i­nar, which fea­tured pre­sen­ta­tions from var­i­ous or­gan­i­sa­tions on Green Build­ing and sound en­vi­ron­men­tal prac­tices.Pre­sent­ing for the TCL Group was the com­pa­ny's group health, safe­ty and en­vi­ron­ment Man­ag­er, Han­nah Wei-Mud­deen, whose con­tri­bu­tion fo­cused on the com­pa­ny's in­te­gra­tion of en­vi­ron­men­tal sus­tain­abil­i­ty in its day-to-day op­er­a­tions.

Wei-Mud­deen ex­plained that TCL, an ISO 14001:2004 (En­vi­ron­men­tal Man­age­ment Sys­tem) cer­ti­fied com­pa­ny, con­sis­tent­ly tracks car­bon diox­ide (CO2) emis­sions and fu­el us­age, not on­ly for pro­duc­tion pur­pos­es, but for en­vi­ron­men­tal pro­tec­tion and sus­tain­abil­i­ty.She al­so pre­sent­ed on the use of waste de­rived fu­els and TCL's in­ter­est in burn­ing tyres in its kilns as an en­er­gy al­ter­na­tive.

TCL host­ed a booth at the sem­i­nar, which com­ple­ment­ed Wei-Mud­deen's pre­sen­ta­tion, as the com­pa­ny's sus­tain­able prod­ucts and ini­tia­tives were dis­played.This in­clud­ed ma­te­r­i­al on TCL's Pre­mi­um Plus Poz­zolan Ce­ment, which con­sists of vol­canic poz­zolan ma­te­r­i­al and is wide­ly used lo­cal­ly and re­gion­al­ly in the con­struc­tion of homes, build­ings and oth­er struc­tures.

The use of poz­zolan in the man­u­fac­ture of ce­ment ben­e­fits users and the en­vi­ron­ment as nat­ur­al poz­zolans con­tribute to re­duced Green­house gas­es en­sur­ing a sig­nif­i­cant re­duc­tion in Car­bon Diox­ide emis­sions in­to the at­mos­phere. Oth­er sus­tain­able en­gi­neer­ing tech­nolo­gies such as con­crete roads, the soil ce­ment sta­bil­i­sa­tion tech­nique and per­vi­ous con­crete were al­so show­cased at the booth.
