This isn’t just a milestone, it’s a real breakthrough! Fibre cement can now be fully recycled and reused to make low-carbon cement, which then goes back into new fibre cement products. That’s a true closed loop. ♻️ What makes it even more special is that this is the result of years of work by our teams, turning an ambitious idea into a real, scalable project. CEMLOOP XL shows what’s possible when circularity and innovation come together. Proud to see Etex and Heidelberg Materials Benelux making this happen.

CEMLOOP XL is a joint project that will open up new possibilities for fibre cement, for Etex and for our customers. By reintegrating fibre cement waste into low-carbon cement production, this initiative will allow us to create new fibre cement products with recycled content and a significantly lower carbon footprint. It’s a concrete step toward making our materials more circular and more sustainable. And it will enable us to offer solutions that help our customers meet their own environmental goals. Looking forward to what this means for the future of fibre cement at Etex.

Business Development and Sales professional specialising in Sustainability and Building Envelope
Etex has taken a groundbreaking step toward true sustainability in the fibre cement industry. For the first time in fibre cement, the company is forging a fully circular pathway — transforming fibre cement waste into a valuable secondary raw material. Through a joint project with CEMLOOP XL, Etex will convert fibre cement waste into a key ingredient for low-carbon cement, which is then used to manufacture new fibre cement material. This innovation marks a significant leap in circular construction — reducing the use of virgin raw materials, lowering CO₂ emissions during cement production, and consuming substantially less energy. The process not only captures CO₂ but also incorporates recycled content into new products, while dramatically cutting the amount of waste sent to landfill. With this initiative, Etex is closing the loop — making fibre cement a truly circular and sustainable material for the built environment.
