Rising use of recycled concrete aggregates
The recycled concrete aggregates segment gained strong traction in 2024 as builders look for cost-effective and eco-conscious alternatives to traditional raw materials. Recycled aggregates, sourced from demolition waste and surplus construction materials, are being widely used in foundations, road bases, and backfill applications. Their ability to reduce landfill burden and lower the demand for virgin aggregates makes them a sustainable solution for urban infrastructure projects. In addition, advancements in crushing and sorting technologies are improving the consistency and strength performance of recycled concrete, bringing it closer to conventional material standards.
Structural Applications to Gain Traction
The structural applications segment held a sustainable share in 2024, driven by certified commercial and residential developments. These applications include load-bearing walls, beams, slabs, and framing components, where performance and compliance are non-negotiable. Innovations in engineered recycled products, such as composite lumber and recycled steel, are helping meet both structural and sustainability requirements.
West Region to Emerge as a Propelling Region
The West region recycled and upcycled building materials market is poised to grow at a robust rate in 2024, driven by progressive environmental policies and strong green building momentum. High rates of urban development, coupled with strict waste diversion targets and sustainability mandates, are fueling the demand for eco-friendly construction inputs. Cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles have implemented ordinances that promote the use of reclaimed and recycled materials in both public and private projects.
Major players in the U.S. recycled and upcycled building materials market are Owens Corning, Trex Company, CEMEX USA, Holcim US Inc., and Heidelberg Materials North America.
To strengthen their foothold in the recycled and upcycled building materials market, companies are adopting multifaceted strategies focused on innovation, partnerships, and regional expansion. Leading firms are investing in advanced recycling technologies to improve the quality and scalability of their product lines, ensuring they meet evolving building codes and performance standards. Strategic collaborations with demolition contractors, material recovery facilities, and green architects are enabling better material sourcing and project integration.
