We are decarbonizing building end-to-end for a net-zero future, from our operations and low-carbon materials to making buildings sustainable in use and driving circular construction.

With Holcim materials and solutions, you can:

Build better with less

We are decarbonizing construction, enabling our customers to build better with less. Our low-carbon materials, from ECOPact concrete to ECOPlanet cement , deliver 100% performance with up to 90% less CO ₂ . We are also deploying smart design systems like 3D printing that can reduce material use by up to 50%.

Make buildings sustainable

We are making buildings more sustainable in use, decarbonizing our cities. Our broad range of solutions, from roofing to insulation, is driving energy efficiency and green retrofitting. This is where the majority of our sector’s emissions are generated, with 70% of the CO ₂ emissions in construction coming from buildings in use. We’re expanding our solutions to reduce this footprint.

Build new from old

We are driving circular construction to build new from the old, as a world leader in recycling. Our goal is to double down in this area, going from recycling over 50M tons of materials today to 100M tons by 2030. We are putting circularity at the core of everything we do, from recycling construction and demolition waste to upcycling plastic bags in roofing systems.
