ECOPact
ECOPact is the world’s broadest range of low-carbon concrete, containing an innovative mix of supplementary cementitious materials and admixture technology. It reduces the embodied carbon of buildings, infrastructure and homes by at least 30%, without compromising on performance. ECOPact is locally produced, recyclable and supports a circular economy.
ECOCycle®
Circular solutions powered by ECOCycle® guarantee content with 10% minimum to 100% recycled construction demolition materials (CDM) inside, with 100% quality and performance.
Construction demolition materials
Holcim drives circular construction with innovative solutions to reduce, recycle and reuse materials. By recycling construction demolition materials, we can produce everything from decarbonized cement paste to high-quality aggregates, as used here in Wood Wharf.
A new level of circularity
With Sivyer Logistics, a member of the Holcim Group, Holcim is helping the City of London and the Canary Wharf Group achieve their sustainability ambitions. We are collaborating to create more circular building processes to lessen the project’s impact on the local environment.

Unlocking the building of the future
Canary Wharf Group will be the first in the UK to use a unique technology developed by carbon removal pioneer neustark and Holcim. This removes CO2 from the atmosphere and injects it into demolition concrete, storing it permanently.
This pioneering carbon removal technology will allow Wood Wharf and the Canary Wharf Group to further their ambitions to reach net zero.
LEGACY
Making urban spaces extraordinary
Wood Wharf is driven by the principles of accessibility, cultural diversity, education, inclusion and innovation. In tandem, it’s pushing boundaries in the drive to decarbonize building in the city, by giving new life to construction demolition materials.
We are scaling our sustainable building solutions in London and cities across the world to create more circular and regenerative places for the next generation.
“Holcim’s ECOPact range helped us focus on what low-carbon and circular options are available to us. We were able to work closely together to develop alternative concrete mixes. We could only have achieved this through the open and collaborative relationship with Holcim.”
“London is one of the world’s largest ‘urban mines’, and Sivyer Logistics is a leading player. We can take a customer’s construction demolition materials (CDM), recycle it onsite in Greenwich, then return it for use in new building solutions. This allowed Canary Wharf Group to achieve complete circularity at Wood Wharf.”
