Cities are increasingly using sustainable building solutions that deliver 100% performance with a lower carbon footprint, and that use fewer primary materials.
Holcim - leading company in sustainable building solutions - offers ECOPact and ECOPlanet, the largest ranges of low-carbon concrete and cement, reducing embodied carbon emissions by at least 30% compared to standard solutions, without offsets.
Solutions such as ECOPact are backed by Environmental Product Declarations
(EPDs), which independently verify claims from the construction phase to the use and end-of-life scenarios.
Application in Princess Elisabeth Island
| Location | North Sea, Belgium |
| Year | 2024 |
| Type of Building | Infrastructure - energy grid |
| Application | Built using Holcim’s ECOPlanet low-carbon cement, this first artificial energy island is being built with 23 concrete caissons. The project will reduce the overall CO2 footprint by more than 40% compared to standard cements. |
Application in The Ellinikon
| Location | Athens, Greece |
| Type of Building | Urban regeneration project, including infrastructure and mixed use buildings |
| Application | A 6M square meters regeneration project - the largest in Europe - the Ellinikon is being built with Holcim’s end-to-end low-carbon solutions. With ECOPlanet cement, ECOPact and DYNAMax concretes, and more, Holcim is currently providing these for 90% of the project’s structures. |
