In a linear economy, humans take resources from the earth, make products with
them, and dispose of those products.
According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, switching to a circular
economy can reduce emissions from construction materials by 38% by 2050.
Below are highlights from our portfolio of
materials and solutions that support and advance the circular economy.
