Melbourne’s stunning Metro Tunnel opened at the end of 2025, and this iconic project shows how Holcim’s sustainable building solutions are meeting the needs of NextGen city infrastructure. With 6 million people expected to call Melbourne home by 2030, the Metro Tunnel has created capacity for 500 000 more passengers every week during peak periods. • 600,000 m³ of low-carbon Holcim concrete avoided 150 000 tons of CO₂ emissions • 52% reduction in Portland cement use in tunnels and stations • 1st infrastructure project worldwide to integrate recycled glass into structural-grade concrete 🔗 Discover how this Building Icon: https://lnkd.in/eM7cyNB5 #BuildingProgress #BuildingIcons #NextGenGrowth Holcim Australia

In just two years, Holcim has expanded into the attractive market of Peru as the leading partner for sustainable construction – offering high-value building materials and solutions. The acquisition of a majority stake in Cementos Pacasmayo SAA is the latest milestone! Here’s Norberto Ledea, CEO Holcim Perú, on how our teams are bringing NextGen Growth to life in this market - which has strong long-term growth prospects driven by sustained economic growth and strong demand for housing, infrastructure and industry. “From large-scale transport infrastructure to key urban developments, Peru is home to generational projects that are reshaping how the nation’s cities connect and grow,” Norbero says. “We aren’t simply meeting demand – we will transform the construction landscape in Peru by commercializing our premium sustainable brands including ECOPact and ECOPlanet.” Read Norberto’s NextGen Growth vision: https://lnkd.in/exz4DEvj #NextGenGrowth #BuildingProgress

As we help shape the NextGen cities of tomorrow, Holcim is advancing circular construction — building cities from cities using our ECOCycle technology. 📩 Read how we're scaling circular construction in the March edition of “NextGen Growth 2030 in Action.”

We’ve completed the strategic acquisition of a majority stake in Cementos Pacasmayo SAA, a leading producer of building materials and high-value building solutions in Peru, to strengthen our presence in the highly attractive Latin America region.

🌍 On #WorldZeroWasteDay,  let’s check out how circular construction is moving from concept to reality. In Austria, one of our circularity champions, Holcim is building cities from cities. ▶️ From the EPO building to the primary school in Reininghaus and the fire station in Mannersdorf, our ECOCycle technology and ECOPlanet RC cement show how recycled materials can deliver both performance and measurable impact. 🎥 Watch how we’re advancing circular construction in Austria—and turning construction demolition materials into new buildings. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eUuiyEcc #NextGenGrowth #BuildingProgress #CircularConstruction Holcim Österreich

📄 Working with IUCN and Arup we’ve created a roadmap to help cities across the world protect biodiversity and accelerate regenerative urban development through circularity. 💡IUCN’s new report “Circular Construction Policies for Nature” explores several Holcim projects that show how cities are leading the future of sustainable construction – using our sustainable, circular building materials and solutions. ♻️ London was one of the first cities to require circular economy commitments at the planning submission stage for projects. Wood Wharf is a mixed-use development that uses Holcim’s ECOPact concrete with our ECOCycle technology inside – namely recycled concrete aggregates inside, sourced from local construction demolition materials. ♻️ Setting the pace for advanced building norms, Zurich municipality mandates 25% recycled content in the construction of all public buildings. For the “David Chipperfield” extension of Kunsthaus Zürich built from 2016-18, Holcim supplied 5 000 tons of low-carbon cement for concrete with up to 95% recycled aggregates. ♻️Paris is actively building circular economy principles into its public procurement and urban planning regulations. Recygénie is the world’s first fully recycled concrete building made using Holcim’s ECOCycle circular technology, saving 6 000 tons of primary raw materials. 🔗Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/eqvpcNs6 #NextGenGrowth #BuildingProgress #CircularConstruction

🌍 On #WorldZeroWasteDay, we’re proud to spotlight how Geocycle shows what zero waste means. ✈️ “Close the Loop”, our three-part film series, brings this to life. Episode 1 takes you inside Athens International Airport, where waste is managed at scale and kept out of landfill. 🔗 Listen to Michael O’Connor, Manager Environmental Services at Athens International Airport, as he shares how Geocycle is helping the airport close the loop: https://lnkd.in/eZyxBZmJ #BuildingProgress #NextGenGrowth #WasteManagement
