Holcim recycles 225 m3 of Hebel AAC panels for new industrial building in Germany

(AWP Alliance News) - Holcim advanced a circular-building project in Puchheim near Munich, recycling 225 m3 of Hebel autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) from a 50-year-old industrial hall into new AAC for a larger commercial building. The dismantled wall panels were separated onsite, crushed into secondary AAC powder, then sent to a nearby plant to substitute primary sand and binders in new production.

The new build used modular wall panels to create a 50-meter-long, column-free interior, targeting faster construction with lower labor needs. Holcim also highlighted a broader Hebel return system that takes construction-site offcuts back to the plant for reuse in new AAC.
