Sustainable waste management
As a dedicated part of Holcim, Geocycle provides sustainable waste management solutions to municipalities and industries worldwide that transform waste into resources. These solutions avoid landfill or incineration and are large-scale, scientifically proven and economically feasible.
With the world’s population expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, and around 2.5 billion more people expected to live in cities by the same year, there is increasing pressure on resources.
Globally almost 2 billion tons of municipal waste is generated annually, a large percentage of which is either landfilled or dumped, while a small proportion is incinerated. Waste is a pressing global challenge that requires sustainable and economical answers.
Through material recycling and the recovery of non recyclables, Geocycle reduces resource consumption and carbon emissions. With its global expertise, it sets industry-leading standards, fosters industrial symbiosis and supports its customers to achieve their sustainability targets.
In 2023, Geocycle transformed around 14 million tons of waste into energy and raw materials and avoided an estimated 15 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions. By driving circularity and decarbonization for an improved environment, Geocycle strives to make a positive contribution to our communities through “zero waste of waste”.
