To achieve the necessary CO₂ reduction in construction, the processes and the materials used in this industry must become more sustainable, among others in construction chemistry. Towards that end, Sika Deutschland GmbH makes an important contribution in various sectors – as illustrated in the following article.

To achieve the necessary CO₂ reduction in the construction industry, its processes and the materials used must become more sustainable. All parties participating in construction are challenged to modify their processes and to apply new methods as well as alternative construction materials. Various approaches exist on how the construction-chemicals industry, for example, can implement this. Sika Deutschland GmbH provides an important contribution here in various sectors. The following examines innovations including closed-circle economy by reCO₂ver technology for improving resource efficiency,...
