The first cement in Poland with the addition of recycled construction concrete

The innovation of ECOPlanet Budowlany cement is the use of at least 10% of mineral material recovered from demolition concrete, which allows for a significant reduction in the extraction of natural resources, while increasing the use of construction waste. The production process of ECOPlanet Budowlany cement also allows for a reduction of CO2 emissions by at least 40% compared to standard CEM I cement. Thus, ECOPlanet Budowlany fits perfectly into Holcim's strategy as a pioneer of decarbonization and the closed-loop economy.

– The introduction of ECOPlanet Budowlany cement with mineral material from recycled concrete is a response to the growing market needs for sustainable building materials, and its quality is appreciated by professionals. Thanks to the new cement produced in Cementownia Kujawy, our company offers construction even greater opportunities for a real impact on the protection of natural resources through the use of recycled materials – emphasizes Bogusław Lasek, Marketing and R&D Director at Holcim Polska.

ECOPlanet Budowlany is a general construction product, and its use significantly extends the time of maintaining the optimal working properties of the concrete mix and mortars even at elevated ambient temperatures. Products manufactured on the basis of cement are distinguished by very good plasticity and workability, which improves the comfort of work of contractors. This cement is intended for most construction and renovation works, it is perfect for bricklaying and plastering and soil stabilization.
