Embracing Circularity to Reduce Environmental Impact in Construction
CEMEX Ventures
One promising way to minimize waste from the construction and demolition phases is establishing a circular economy, in which construction companies continuously recycle and reuse building materials for new purposes and/or in new projects.
Drywall can be broken down and repurposed into fertilizer, and even concrete can be broken down and reused to improve performance and reduce emissions.

CEMEX Ventures

The construction industry will have to make major changes in everything from concrete production to daily water usage and treatment if it wants to move from being a water-intensive industry to more water-efficient.
