Americas: Geocycle is reportedly planning to invest US$125m in Latin America by 2030 to expand co-processing capacity, according to local press. It said that it had processed 12.6Mt of waste worldwide in 2025, converting it into alternative fuel for use in cement production across its operating countries. The company said the waste helped to reduce its reliance on conventional fuels and raw materials, and that it had reduced CO₂ emissions by 1.10Mt during the year. It said that 30% of Holcim’s thermal energy demand in Latin America had been met through co-processing.
Luis Rivas said “Reaching the milestone of 1Mt of managed waste is not just an operational achievement, it is proof that in Latin America we are leading a true circular revolution. With this installed capacity, we are not only solving a critical waste problem for cities and industry, but we are also accelerating the decarbonisation of our sector.”
