Fives at CDRA 2026: Low-Carbon Cement Solutions

Fives will participate in the Construction & Demolition Recycling Association (CDRA) 2026 Conference, taking place from January 27–29, 2026, in Tampa, Florida.

Optimizing supplementary cementitious materials for low-carbon cement
At CDRA 2026, Fives will highlight solutions designed to enhance the performance of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), a key lever for reducing the carbon footprint of cement production. By enabling higher SCM substitution rates without compromising product quality or durability, these technologies help cement producers lower clinker content and CO₂ emissions while maintaining productivity.

Fives’ portfolio includes proven grinding and classification solutions such as FCB Horomill^®, FCB B-mill, and FCB TSV™ Classifier, which ensure precise particle size control. In addition, the FCB Flash Calciner supports the production of high-quality calcined clays, increasingly recognized as a strategic alternative SCM. Together, these technologies respond to the growing demand from the U.S. cement industry for scalable, low-carbon production pathways that comply with tightening environmental standards.

Valorizing industrial residues with FCB Rhodax^®
To support the cement industry’s transition toward circular economy practices, Fives will also present its FCB Rhodax^® selective crushing technology. Designed for the efficient processing of industrial residues, including recycled concrete from deconstruction and abrasive minerals, FCB Rhodax^® enables the recovery and valorization of usable materials while minimizing waste.

By preserving valuable components and reducing dependence on virgin raw materials, this approach improves resource efficiency and supports the production of more sustainable construction materials, aligned with both regulatory requirements and market expectations.
