Construction isn't the only use of portland cement. Cement can be used to manage waste in many different methods:

Perhaps the most unique application of cement in waste management is for solidification/stabilization (S/S) treatment of waste. S/S treatment of waste involves mixing cement into contaminated media or waste to immobilize contaminants within the treated material.

Other uses:

Concrete for waste water treatment facilities, tanks, conduits and storage areas
Roller-compacted concrete pavements (RCCP) for operational areas at composting facilities
Cement-based liners for waste management units
Cement-based grouts and slurry trenches for subsurface waste containment
Controlled low strength material as inert fill for closure of underground tanks
