ECOPlanet, Holcim’s low-carbon cement
OUR FLAGSHIP CEMENT BRAND
The world needs to build, and ECOPlanet, Holcim's low-carbon cement1 is meeting this demand as the backbone of sustainable construction in 31 markets worldwide.
The ECOPlanet range delivers 100% performance starting at 30% lower CO2 emissions.2
Why ECOPlanet?
With 70% of the global population expected to live in cities by 2050, the world needs to build the equivalent of Madrid every week. ECOPlanet cement aims to tackle this challenge by reducing emissions by at least 30%.
With Holcim’s industry-leading formulation expertise, ECOPlanet’s profile is driven by innovative raw materials. We use calcined clay and recycled construction demolition materials (CDM) in our ECOPlanet formulations to reduce buildings’ CO2 footprint by up to 50%.
By leveraging alternative fuels and harnessing advanced technologies like carbon capture, utilization and storage, we can further reduce ECOPlanet’s carbon footprint.
Building progress for people and the planet
ECOPlanet low-carbon cement adds to Holcim’s leading range of innovative building solutions, which are aligned with the world’s highest standards of sustainable building certifications – from BREEAM to LEED. It complements ECOPact, Holcim's low-carbon concrete3, which is distributed across 30 markets worldwide.
