The construction materials industry is facing a historic transformation. While cost, quality, and production capacity were once the key factors determining competitiveness, the content of recycled materials and adherence to ESG standards are now becoming non-negotiable prerequisites for the industry to participate in global supply chains.

According to the latest statistics from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the construction sector accounts for nearly 40% of global CO2 emissions, with building materials making up a significant share. This poses an urgent demand for major cities to replace traditional construction materials with green alternatives.
