Abstract: The main way to absorb waste in cement industry is to coordinated disposal in cement kiln. This paper introduces the research progress and successful cases in some countries over the past 30 years, the relevant laws and policies implemented by some countries, the risk assessment of “co-operative disposal” and the prevention and control of dioxins and heavy metals, and so on. There have also been some developments in the study of the extension of waste consumption in the cement industry, such as refuse derived fuels and Minamata Convention on Mercury proposed by the international community.
