Green Transportation
Part of a More Sustainable Journey
Irish Cement seeks to minimise the social and environmental impacts of transport under our direct control. This includes the transportation of all raw materials, fuels, and on-site vehicles. Approximately 25% of cement is delivered to customers by road hauliers contracted by Irish Cement, while the remaining 75% is collected directly by customers from our Platin and Limerick facilities.
Irish Cement is reducing its transport‑related environmental and social footprint through the implementation of sustainable transport practices, the optimisation of delivery distances, and continued investment in modern low‑emission replacement vehicles.
