en.Wedoany.com Reported - Holcim has launched ECOPlanet, a low-carbon cement product, and ECOCycle, a circular construction platform, in the UAE, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of the country's building sector.

The low-carbon cement is produced using locally sourced raw materials, with a carbon footprint approximately 30% lower than traditional cement while maintaining comparable performance characteristics. Holcim stated that the product has already been used by Conmix, a UAE-based ready-mix concrete producer, in a construction project.

The concurrently launched ECOCycle technology platform can recycle construction and demolition waste into new building materials. According to the company, the system can incorporate 10% to 100% recycled content in labeled products without compromising performance.

Construction and demolition waste accounts for approximately 70% to 75% of the UAE's solid waste stream. Holcim noted that the ECOCycle platform helps support the country's environmental goal of diverting 75% of waste from landfills.

Ali Said, CEO of Holcim UAE and Oman, stated that these initiatives will help developers meet increasingly stringent sustainability and circular economy targets, while promoting local manufacturing and resource efficiency.
