US: Eco Material Technologies has opened its 50,000t/yr Blissville rail terminal in New York City. The company says that the terminal will distribute supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), including harvested fly ash, to the New York Metropolitan Area. Precision Terminal Logistics will operate the site, using rail connections including the New York and Atlantic Railway to despatch deliveries. Eco Materials expects the facility to quickly reach full capacity due to ‘strong’ regional demand.
CEO Grant Quasha said that the terminal will help the alternative cement segment to reduce its reliance on imported steel slag as a raw material.
