Global urbanisation is accelerating, adding the equivalent of an entire city of Madrid every week. How to achieve sustainable development while meeting construction needs? Holcim's answer: build in cycles.
Q: What is cyclic construction?
A: To put it simply, it is to "build a city with a city" to recycle, classify and process building demolition materials and re-transform them into new building materials, so as to realize the closed-loop cycle from "demolition and construction waste" to "new urban skeleton". With its self-developed ECOCycle technology
, Holcim is promoting this concept on a large scale in metropolitan areas around the world. By reducing the use of virgin materials, protecting natural resources, and minimizing landfills, recycling construction not only protects the environment, but also drives real profit growth.

It is used in a wide range of applications: 0 HTML 0 UNK1 61, Alternative raw materials in low-carbon cement formulations 0 HTML 0 UNK1 72, Reclaimed aggregates in ready-mixed concrete, precast units, mortar 0 HTML 0 UNK1 83, Fillers in road construction 0 HTML 0 UNK1 9 The key is quality and performance, without compromise. 0 HTML0 UNK2 0 The Br Brügelmannstrasse Gymnasium in Cologne, Germany, is a benchmark for sustainable, energy-efficient buildings. It is built with ECOPact ready-mixed concrete containing ECOCycle building demolition materials, which truly realizes the closed-loop circulation of building materials. 0 HTML0 UNK2 1 Four engines to accelerate circular construction 0 HTML0 UNK2 2 Expanded layout 0 HTML0 UNK2 3 More than 104 circular construction centers have been located in major metropolitan areas around the world, with a target of 150 by 2030. Through organic growth, investment in recovery capacity, value-added mergers and acquisitions, as well as in-depth cooperation with municipal departments and enterprises, we will continue to expand the global territory. 0 HTML 0 UNK2 4 Innovation 0 HTML 0 UNK2 5 100% CDM upgrading and recycling, transforming demolition materials into new building solutions such as asphalt, aggregate, ready-mixed concrete, prefabricated components and mortar. At the same time, digitalization and artificial intelligence are introduced to create a more efficient and sustainable operation system. 0 HTML0 UNK2 6 Promotion technology 0 HTML0 UNK2 7 ECOCycle technology has been implemented in 12 countries and will be extended to more countries in the future. Holcim continues to produce building materials and solutions bearing the logo with consistent quality and performance. 0 HTML 0 UNK2 8 Driving Standards 0 HTML 0 UNK2 9 Actively works with policy makers to drive the evolution of building codes and standards, increase allowable recycled content, and drive stricter landfill regulations. 0 HTML0 UNK3 0 Four growth directions of CDM 0 HTML0 UNK3 11, High-quality recycled aggregates 0 HTML0 UNK3 22, Aggregates in concrete 0 HTML0 UNK3 33, Alternative raw materials in cement 0 HTML0 UNK3 44, Minerals in Cement 0 HTML0 UNK3 5 From Industry to Global: Advocating the Circular Economy 0 HTML0 UNK3 6 Holcim is not only a practitioner, but also an advocate. We actively promote the evolution of building codes and standards, promote the use of recycled materials in infrastructure and construction projects, and advocate stricter landfill regulations. 0 HTML0 UNK3 7 Holcim is proud to be a member of the Global Recurring Protocol (GCP) Frontier Alliance. Initiated by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and the One Planet Network at COP30 and developed by more than 150 experts, the agreement is the world's first voluntary framework to provide a standardized approach for organizations to measure, manage, and communicate cyclical impacts. 0 HTML0 UNK3 8 As a member, Holcim is committed to testing and implementing GCPs across the business and value chain to help unleash material savings, reduce carbon emissions, and accelerate the transition to a circular economy. 0 HTML 0 UNK3 9 cycle construction is not only the strategic choice of Holcim, but also the inevitable path of urban sustainable development. To build cities with cities, to bring every ton of demolition material back to life-that is our commitment to the future. 0HTML0UNK40
