Geocycle plans to allocate $125 million towards expanding co-processing and circular economy infrastructure in Latin America by 2030. This builds on an existing investment of over $55 million to develop 14 facilities, which processed about 1 million tons of waste in 2025, meeting 30.1% of Holcim's thermal energy demand in the region.
The initiative has avoided approximately 1.1 million tons of CO2 emissions. Partnerships with companies like Nestlé and PepsiCo enhance waste management efforts, while projects in the public sector, including a sorting facility in Ecuador, demonstrate urban sustainability benefits. The investment will also focus on enhancing technological capabilities and safety protocols.
