THE sustainability-driven real estate developer NEO’s recent strategic partnership with Holcim, a global leader in sustainable building solutions, aims to advance circular economy practices and reduce landfill waste.
Geocycle, Holcim’s global waste management brand, will manage the co-processing of post-consumer waste generated from NEO’s portfolio of buildings. This collected waste will be processed at Holcim’s Norzagaray Cement Plant in Bulacan. Qualified residual waste is then converted into alternative fuels and raw materials for cement production, reducing landfill dependence while supporting emissions reduction and resource efficiency.
NEO CEO Raymond Rufino said that this partnership will be “turning everyday building waste into valuable resources, proving that responsible development can drive both environmental impact and business value.”
Gie Garcia, NEO COO and chief sustainability officer, added, “By bringing Geocycle’s co-processing technology into our waste management approach, we’re reinforcing our commitment to circular economy principles turning waste into value and helping deliver real, measurable ESG outcomes.”
