Creating Cities for Tomorrow: The Future of Sustainable Construction
"As the leading partner for sustainable construction, Holcim is at the forefront of driving this change. The company engages with key decision-makers across the building value chain, including public authorities, urban planners, architects, engineers, developers, and contractors. Holcim's like-minded partners rely on its comprehensive product offerings and end-to-end building systems. Together, they are creating the cities of tomorrow: sustainable, circular, durable, energy-efficient and smart."
"However, the shared opportunity to build sustainably is still in its early stages. Take circular construction, for example, where Holcim can already make concrete that is 100% recyclable, using the ECOCycle® circular technology. This not only reduces the need for primary materials but also promotes the efficient and circular use of resources with locally used materials made for easy use and recycling."
Rapid urbanization is adding a city the size of Madrid every week, requiring systems-thinking and collaborative approaches to construction. Holcim provides end-to-end building systems and engages public authorities, planners, architects, engineers, developers, and contractors to deliver sustainable, circular, durable, energy-efficient, and smart urban infrastructure. EPD-certified ECOPlanet cement and ECOPact concrete support green building standards and enable lower-carbon construction. ECOCycle® technology produces fully recyclable concrete and enables local recycling centers to reduce primary material demand. Prolonging building lifespans through energy-efficient repair and refurbishment can cut operational CO2 from heating, cooling, and power while preserving most existing buildings until 2050.
