PCA celebrates 100 years: James Toscas interview
ICR prepares for the IEEE-IAS/PCA Cement Industry Technical Conference and Exhibition in Grapevine, Dallas, Texas, USA 15-19 May by interviewing James Toscas, PCA’s president and CEO, on the role of the PCA and the current state of the US cement industry.
James Toscas, PCA President and CEO, speaking earlier this year at the PCA's Spring Congress.
ICR: How would you decribe the role and main focus of the PCA today?
JT: Firstly, we want to maintain the success and the effectiveness of sustainability in the cement industry. There are several facets of that. Number one is to work with the regulators – whether it’s environmental regulations, water regulations or whatever they might be. Our role is to work with them to comment and to adhere to the changing regulatory environment.
US plants are quickly adapting to the new NESHAP regulations.
Ash Grove Cement's Midlotian plant is one of the US facilities that has been upgraded
recently and it is the plant tour for IEEE this year.
