Old becomes new – this is how the principle of the circular economy can be explained in very simple terms. Establishing a circular economy for our building materials is currently one of the most important projects for Xella. Two examples from Belgium show how Xella is taking the next steps here to
Increasingly strict regulations apply to the construction industry. So how does the Xella Group meet the increasing requirements to regulate CO2 emissions in the construction industry?
Energy efficiency makes the German economy more competitive internationally. Because companies that use fewer resources operate more sustainably and invest their capital in innovations.
Establishing a circular economy for products like autoclaved aerated concrete or calcium silicate bricks is one of our most important projects. The consultancy LCEE Life Cycle Engineering Experts GmbH from Darmstadt, a spin-off of Darmstadt Technical University, deals with the principles of sustaina
Sustainability is an integral part of our corporate strategy and our understanding of the future. To promote and implement greater sustainability throughout the construction industry, we rely on a wide variety of initiatives and partnerships.

Large-format wall elements, an app for home builders and a concept for recycling management win the innovation award
Anyone who wants to build or renovate in Austria in a sustainable manner can hardly do without Xella products. This has been proven by the awarding of two renowned prizes.
Xella Romania contributes to the construction of the first Pediatric Oncology and Radiotherapy Hospital in Romania by donating more than 1,700 sqm of tailor made Ytong blocks.
Ytong and Hebel AAC consists of natural materials, promotes the natural indoor climate and can be returned to the production cycle as a raw material. These characteristics make it particularly sustainable – an aspect that becomes increasingly important also in the construction industry. Sustainabi
Ytong cellular concrete can be processed on site with comparatively little waste. As a rule, less than one percent of the delivered quantity is left over as cut waste, which was previously disposed of with the construction waste
Working together - being there for each other. The principle is simple: if many people make a small contribution, great things can happen.
This year's Innovation Award was presented at the Xella Management Conference.
Together with our partner company Otto Dörner, Xella Technologie- und Forschungsgesellschaft has started a project to reuse aerated concrete residues from mixed construction waste for the renewed production of aerated concrete.
