The acquired recycling facility can process up to 400,000 tons of material per year, which Regenera will turn into repurposed aggregates for concrete production, reintroducing them into the construction value chain. In addition to its recycling capabilities, RC-Baustoffe Berlin operates the first plant to permanently store biogenic CO₂ in recycled mineral waste in Germany. "The cement value chain is a valuable contributor to the circular economy with concrete being an infinitely recyclable material," said Fernando A. González, CEO of Cemex. "With acquisitions such as this, Cemex continues to strengthen its commitment to circularity through Regenera as well as promoting the world's transition to a more circular economy. Construction and demolition waste accounts for more than 30% of global waste streams and reintegrating these materials into the construction value chain can reduce the use of virgin raw materials."
