Cemex announced today that it has acquired a majority stake in RC-Baustoffe Berlin GmbH & Co. KG, a recycling company and part of the Heim Group, as part of its ongoing efforts to grow its circularity business. The Berlin-based company processes mineral construction, demolition, and excavation materials (CDEM).

This acquisition will integrate with Regenera, Cemex’s business that provides circularity solutions to extend the life cycle of construction products and materials through reuse in value-added products. 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."

"We've been collaborating with Cemex on recycled aggregates for several years, and the company has consistently proven to be a reliable partner in the Berlin metropolitan market,” said Philipp Heim, Managing Partner of the HEIM Group. "Given its strong commitment to sustainability and the circular economy, Cemex is the perfect partner to guide RC-Baustoffe Berlin toward a successful future."

Regenera recovered over 9 million tons of CDEM in 2023 and has an objective of recovering over 14 million tons annually by 2030. Earlier this year, Cemex partnered with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the world’s leading circular economy network that works with ambitious, like-minded organizations globally to continue to leverage the potential of the cement value chain in circularity.
