Lafarge's low-carbon fuel facility in Exshaw, Canada, has begun operations, aiming to divert 120,000 tonnes of construction waste from landfills annually by burning materials like shredded wood and non-recyclable plastics.

However, local residents remain concerned about potential emissions from the facility.
