ECOCYCLE
HOLCIM’S CIRCULAR TECHNOLOGY
What if the next generation of buildings didn’t start with new materials, but with what’s already around us?
The UAE generates enormous volumes of construction demolition materials every year, accounting for an estimated 70% to 75% of the nation's total solid waste. ECOCycle, our advanced circular technology, directly addresses this challenge, transforming construction demolition materials into new, high-quality building solutions. By giving discarded materials a new purpose, ECOCycle helps keep resources in circulation, reduce environmental impact, and support a more resilient local building ecosystem. Because the future of our cities shouldn’t come at the cost of creating more waste. It should come from finding smarter ways to build what comes next.
WHY ECOCYCLE?
ECOCycle uses Holcim's advanced circular technology to accelerate change, building cities from cities and closing the loop in construction. ECOCycle-labeled products guarantee a content of minimum 10% up to 40% recycled construction demolition materials (CDM) – with no compromise on quality and performance.
The concept is simple yet powerful. Instead of extracting new raw materials for every construction project, ECOCycle recovers and reprocesses materials from old structures, feeding them back into the construction cycle – building new from old. The result is a genuinely closed-loop system that reduces waste, conserves natural resources, and supports the UAE's ambition to divert 75% of waste from landfill.
Sustainability is at the core of everything we do, as part of our net-zero journey. With ECOCycle, Holcim’s circularity endorser, we are accelerating the transition toward a more sustainable built environment.
