Holcim Introduces ECOCycle® - Building New from Old

 

Holcim has demonstrated its clear commitment to make construction more circular with the introduction of ECOCycle® to Australia

Every year, billions of tonnes of construction and demolition materials (CDM) are generated worldwide. 

ECOCycle® by Holcim is a circular technology designed to turn this challenge into an opportunity, transforming recovered materials into new, high-quality building solutions. By integrating recycled content into a wide range of products, ECOCycle® helps scale circular construction while reducing reliance on virgin natural resources.

Advancing our approaches to circular construction

By reusing construction demolition materials in the production of new building solutions, we can help to close the loop in construction to build cities from cities.

Products carrying the ECOCycle® endorsement label contain between 10% and 100% recycled construction and demolition materials by total mass. That recycled content is independently verified by SGS Australia to ISO 14021, giving customers confidence they are supporting circularity in the built environment without compromising on quality or performance.

The ECOCycle® label is clear and easy to recognise, with a commitment to consistent, high standards. It makes it simple to choose more sustainable building solutions.

Enabling circular construction at scale

Ready-mix concrete with ECOCycle® inside provides customers with the certainty that at least 10% of the concrete by mass is manufactured from recycled construction and demolition materials. 

This use of recycled content maintains the high performance, workability and strength needed across a wide range of applications.

That means circular construction credentials backed by independent verification.
