PPC has taken the strategic decision to embrace alternative building technologies rather than oppose them, PPC South Africa MD Njombu Lekula has said.

Speaking at the Smart African Cities Summit held in Midrand on June 8, he said PPC had set up a new department to deal with improving operational efficiency through innovation aimed at new products and methods, with a focus on sustainability.

“As cement producers, we never wanted to hear about alternative building methods or technologies because it meant future buildings would not have cement.

“However, we have taken a view that it is about sustainability – not only of the environment but of the organisations that we work with,” Lekula said, adding that, if PPC wanted to be part of the future, it needed to embrace these alternative methods and technologies in the present.
