Holcim has launched ECOCycle, its proprietary circular technology platform to recycle construction demolition materials into new building solutions.
“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,” said Holcim CEO Jan Jenisch.
Holcim is deploying ECOCycle across its range of material solutions to scale up circular construction, reducing its use of natural resources. Its technology enables concrete, cement and aggregates to contain from 10% to 100% ECOCycle recycled construction demolition materials inside with no compromise in performance, while reducing their environmental footprint.
As a pioneer in circular construction, Holcim launched the world’s first cement with 20% recycled construction demolition materials inside in Switzerland. The company is now building on this expertise by rolling out this solution across Europe.
