🤔 What is an EPD, and why is it so important for accelerating #SustainableConstruction? 📃 EPD stands for Environmental Product Declaration: an independently verified document that communicates a product’s environmental impact. 👀 They give construction industry specifiers – from #architects to real estate #developers – full visibility on the composition and performance of sustainable building solutions. 📈 Access to transparent, reliable product information helps fuel demand for low-carbon alternatives. 🔗 Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gZzKejWT #Decarbonization #BuildingProgress 

🏙 So far this year, we’ve made four acquisitions to scale up circular construction as a driver of profitable growth and  serve some of Europe’s largest metropolitan areas: Mark Desmedt in Belgium, Cand-Landi Group in Switzerland, Land Recovery in the UK, and Mendiger Basalt in Germany. ♻ The buildings and infrastructure around us are our biggest and most valuable urban mine, and urban mining is a key pillar of our promise to drive the circular economy. 👇 Here's how it works! #CircularConstruction #BuildingProgress #UrbanMining 

🗨 “To me, #GOCIRCULAR represents the right direction our company is going in. The demand for low-carbon and circular products is very high … everyone is talking about and the great thing is that Holcim has the solutions for it.” ♻️ Ryan McCormack, General Manager of Ready Mix Concrete at HolcimUS, shares his insights on how the demand for circular and low-carbon building solutions is growing. 🔗 Find out more about the #circulareconomy at Holcim: https://ow.ly/iq6450Sy0Ak #CircularConstruction #GOCIRCULARbyHolcim #BuildingProgress

📰 We have closed the acquisition of Mark Desmedt in Belgium, advancing circular construction in Europe in line with our target to recycle 10 million tons of construction demolition materials per annum. ♻️ A leading company in the recycling of construction demolition materials in Belgium, Mark Desmedt recycles more than 500,000 tons a year and is strategically located to serve Belgium’s two largest metropolitan areas, Brussels and Antwerp. 🏗️ This is our fourth acquisition this year to scale up circular construction as a driver of profitable growth, building on Cand-Landi Group in Switzerland, Land Recovery in the UK and Mendiger Basalt in Germany. 🔗Find out more about the acquisition here: https://ow.ly/TZZq50SwAt9

Advanced crushing is breaking down barriers and paving the way for more #CircularConstruction. ♻️ Europe’s first advanced crushing plant in Saint-Laurent-de-Mure recycles all of the materials from demolition concrete to make additives for the manufacture of new cements. 🏭 This site serves as a pilot for the roll-out of this new approach from 2024. 🚀 Read more at: https://ow.ly/OVNw50Svr4M #Circularity #BuildingProgress
