The management of massive amounts of industrial and hazardous wastes is one of the major challenges facing China. It is also a bottleneck for a number of heavy industries. As part of addressing this problem, many developed countries have now taken the environmentally friendly option of co-processing this waste in cement kilns, rather than using less ecologically-sound incinerator plants. China, too, is now on the verge of embracing this alternative.
