ECOCYCLE: OUR PROPRIETARY CIRCULAR TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM

Rapid urbanization and population increase are straining our planet. Monthly construction of a New York City is unsustainable and harmful to the environment. Circularity underpins everything Holcim does for net-zero. Our circular construction promise is based on our unique ECOCycle® circular technology platform. It efficiently distributes, processes, grinds, and recycles demolition materials into new buildings. Processing building demolition materials can promote circular economy transition. Construction and demolition generate massive trash annually. However, this debris can be used to build new buildings. Construction materials manufacturer Holcim uses ECOCycle® in all of its products that incorporate 10% to 100% recycled construction demolition materials. Resource-saving cement with ECOCycle® contains at least 10% recycled construction demolition materials, making it perfect for circular construction. It builds new from old while delivering 100% performance, closing the construction loop. Its circular aggregates using ECOCycle® recycled construction demolition materials are promoting circular construction in cities. Up to 100% recycled construction demolition materials make these aggregates suitable for roads and foundations. Concrete made with ECOCycle® recycled construction demolition materials is 100% recyclable, making cities more circular.
