As populations grow and people move to urban areas, the world is building the equivalent of Madrid every week. To construct the buildings, infrastructure and industry that we all need in a way that works for people and the planet, cities across the world have an opportunity to accelerate circular construction.
Holcim - leading company in sustainable building solutions - has set a target of recycling over 20 million tons of construction demolition materials (CDM) by 2030.
The company’s proprietary circular technology ECOCycle® recycles CDM into new building solutions:
- all products with ECOCycle® inside - cement, concrete or aggregates - contain from 10% to 100% recycled construction demolition materials.
- ECOCycle® also enables the upcycling of decarbonized cement paste from construction demolition materials into new, low-carbon materials
