Holcim Launches New Circular Technology Platform

Holcim launches ECOCycle®, its proprietary circular technology platform to recycle construction demolition materials into new building solutions. With ECOCycle® Holcim can recycle 100% of construction demolition materials across a broad range of applications, from decarbonized raw materials in low-carbon cement formulation to aggregates in concrete and fillers in road construction. Jan Jenisch, CEO Holcim, commented, "Across all metropolitan areas where we operate, we are at the forefront of driving circular construction to build new from the old. With our ECOCycle® technology we can build cities from cities, recycling 100% of construction demolition materials into new solutions, so everything gets reused and nothing gets lost. With our world's growing population and urbanization, circular construction is essential to build a future that works for people and the planet." Holcim is using its ECOCycle® technology across its range of material solutions to scale up circular construction and reduce its use of natural resources. Its technology enables concrete, cement and aggregates to contain from 10 to 100% ECOCycle® recycled construction demolition materials inside without sacrificing performance, while reducing their environmental footprint.
