Etex has joined the First Movers Coalition to help reduce carbon emissions related to cement production. The coalition seeks to explore options to reduce the carbon footprint of cement used in the building and construction industry by as much as 80 per cent compared to the 2021 US emissions baseline. Etex wants to contribute to worldwide advanced research and development developments in the field of cement. Once developed, Etex and other players will help the new technologies gain ground by buying at least 10 per cent near-zero cement per year of their total cement volume by 2030. The plan follows Etex’s 2030 decarbonisation target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (intensity of scopes 1 and 2) by 35 per cent compared to 2018. Etex is a light building materials manufacturer with products such as gypsum wallboard, insulation, building systems, cladding and fibre cement boards.
