Circular design

Circular design

EQUITONE hi-strength cement rainscreen panels are engineered to extend th elife of the building envelope, minimize waste, and support future reuse. From modular panel layout to dismantle-friendly fixings, we design with the entire lifecycle in mind. By collaborating with architects, builders, and sustainability experts, we're creating smarter systems that reduce environmental impactnot just today, but for decades to come.

Our approach to circularity

Our approach to circularity

For over a century, EQUITONE has created fiber cement panels built to endure. Today, we take that step further—designing panels not only for long life, but for second lives. Our systems are modular and mechanically fixed, allowing panels to be easily installed, removed and repurposed. It’s a flexible, future-ready approach to construction that reduces waste and keeps valuable materials in use.

Our 2030 target

Our 2030 target

By 2030, we want to collect and recycle waste across the value chain and enable and promote the reuse of previously owned EQUITONE panels. Our goal is to continue supporting architects in their efforts to design circular buildings – buildings that are 1. modular, 2. minimal waste, and 3. designed with reused building components.
