Etex, a global leader in lightweight construction materials, and Heidelberg Materials, one of the world’s largest integrated manufacturers of building materials and solutions, with leading market positions in cement, aggregates, and concrete in Belgium and the Netherlands, participate in the joint project CEMLOOP XL – an industrial-scale innovative initiative co-funded by the European Union LIFE Programme. The project aims to revolutionise fibre cement recycling by enabling a fully closed-loop solution, making fibre cement a complete circular product, using advanced Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) technology. This breakthrough innovation reduces CO₂ emissions in cement production by at least 20% and cuts energy consumption in the process by 15%.

Etex’s financial performance at half-year shows significant resilience in a construction environment still largely depressed and marked by unpredictability. Compared to the first half of 2024, the company posted stable sales volumes, sustained healthy margins and improving operational performance. The results are consistent with Etex’s expectations for the period.
