Circular Fibre Cement Facades for Sustainable Architecture

Circular Fibre Cement Facades for Sustainable Architecture

Explore how EQUITONE panels enable reuse, recycling, and low-carbon façade design.

From Lightweight to Low-Impact Façades

EQUITONE fibre cement panels go beyond durability, they support low embodied carbon, modular construction, and sustainable façade design. Discover how our ventilated façade systems enable circularity, energy efficiency, and design freedom for long-lasting architectural impact.

EQUITONE’s 2030 Circularity Commitments

By 2030, EQUITONE aims to close the loop on façade design. Through reduced embodied carbon, modular construction, and waste-free manufacturing, we are working toward a fully circular system, delivering fibre cement façades that perform for the planet as well as the project.

How EQUITONE Builds Circular by Design: Our Three Focus Areas

Certifiably Sustainable (Cradle to Cradle)

EQUITONE has achieved Cradle to Cradle Certified® Bronze level certification for all fibre cement panels. As non-toxic façade materials, our panels support circular façade design with EQUITONE, enabling disassembly, reuse, and reduced environmental impact. Recognised across LEED®, BREEAM®, and other certification systems, Cradle to Cradle helps architects specify with confidence.

Why Circular Construction Must Shape the Future of Building

The construction sector is one of the world’s largest consumers of raw materials, and one of its biggest contributors to carbon emissions and waste. Without change, these impacts will continue to accelerate the climate crisis. Circular construction offers a proven path to reduce resource use, cut emissions, and keep materials in use for longer.

  • 50% of the world’s natural resources are used by the building sector.

  • In the EU, construction and demolition create over 35% of all waste.

  • Buildings and construction generate 37–38% of global COâ‚‚ emissions.

At EQUITONE, we’re committed to closing the loop. Our fibre cement façades are designed for disassembly, reuse, and low-carbon performance, helping architects and contractors put circular construction into practice today.

Why Fibre Cement Is Built for Circular Architecture

EQUITONE façade panels are made from water, Portland cement, cellulose fibres, and natural minerals, forming a durable, low-impact material that meets the demands of circular construction. Designed for longevity, flexibility, and end-of-life reuse, our fibre cement supports the full building lifecycle.

Recyclable

100% recyclable fibre cement, suitable for closed-loop façade systems.

Durable (+50 years)

Designed to perform for decades with minimal maintenance.

Low material usage/m²

Optimised panel format reduces material waste on-site.

Lightweight

Lighter than many alternatives, simplifying transport and installation.

Low maintenance

Resistant to weather, UV, and fading. Minimal cleaning required.

Modular

Compatible with ventilated façade substructures and easy to disassemble.
