Closing the Loop: Pioneering Horizontal Recycling in Construction

In the construction sector, the end of a building’s life has traditionally been seen as the end of its materials’ utility. Now, we’re changing that narrative. Instead of eventually becoming waste, our own built environment can become a new resource. 

LIXIL and Toda Corporation are taking a critical step toward making that a reality through a pioneering horizontal recycling partnership. By recovering scrap aluminum from Toda’s demolished buildings and transforming it into our recycled low-carbon aluminum PremiAL, we are closing the loop on construction waste to create high-performance materials for the structures of tomorrow.

Environmental challenges and business growth don’t have to be at odds – they can be integrated into a scalable solution that can become a blueprint for cities worldwide.
