Unleashing the power of circularity – Join us at the Circular Cities and Policy Summit, Mexico City
Calling all policymakers, built environment practitioners, value chain players and any who have a stake or can drive change in building more sustainable resilient cities and communities.?
Join us at our global Circular Cities and Policy Summit in Mexico City in June.
Mexico City is not only the largest city in Mexico but also one of the world’s mega cities – ?did you also know that it is a world leader on the circular economy? As an example, partnering with the City of Mexico, GCCA member, Cemex , in 2024 repurposed around 30% (1.3 million metric tons) of Mexico City’s municipal solid waste, saving it from landfill. This is about the same weight as three and a half Empire State Buildings.
In some towns and cities in Europe no waste at all goes to landfill, some cement kilns are almost using 100% alternatives to fossils fuels, using waste and reducing their CO2 footprints – a win-win for society and the planet. And what is driving this is policy and partnership between municipalities, governments, businesses and built environment professionals.
This pioneering approach is just one example of what is possible in creating a circular economy and we will explore this and many innovations, best practices and even simple solutions at our upcoming Circular?Cities?and Policy?Summit in June: https://bit.ly/40Rmwj4 ?
?We see a world where key policies can unleash the power of?circularity and the built environment to deliver sustainable and resilient?cities?and communities right across our planet.
The GCCA and the CEOs of our member companies are the custodians of the world’s essential building materials, cement and concrete. Since 2021, when we launched our roadmap to net zero, the first global industry to set out a credible decarbonisation pathway, we have been?taking action and making progress. But we know we cannot achieve this net zero mission alone.?
So, this year we are bringing together policymakers, governments, industry leaders, built environment practitioners, developers and city leaders to collaborate at the forthcoming Circular?Cities?and Policy?Summit. The summit will run from 3-6 June with key sessions and field trips allowing delegates to explore:

The summit runs as part of our own CEO Gathering and?will help us?jointly to build on the collective work and best practices to help to accelerate progress. See some powerful circular economy case studies first-hand with our site visits to Tepeaca Cement Plant to explore its sustainable initiatives and the Torre Reforma district to look closer at sustainability and resilience in action.
We will have good opportunity for focused dialogues, as well as some truly compelling experts and world leaders to provide additional context and reflection including:
