EcoPact Zero is Holcim’s carbon-neutral ready-mix concrete, developed to reduce the embodied carbon of cast-in-place concrete construction while maintaining the performance characteristics of conventional structural mixes. The concrete is produced using optimised mix designs that lower CO2 emissions through reduced clinker content and the use of alternative cementitious materials, with any remaining cradle-to-gate emissions balanced through certified carbon offset mechanisms.

Suitable for a wide range of structural applications, EcoPact Zero supports projects seeking to address embodied carbon at the material level and can contribute to sustainability reporting through third-party Environmental Product Declarations, depending on region and mix design. The approach combines immediate carbon reductions with transparent documentation, positioning EcoPact Zero as a transitional solution within Holcim’s broader low-carbon concrete portfolio.
