Construction chemicals - Challenges and roadmap

As the construction sector faces growing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint and comply with the sustainability criteria set by the new Construction Products Regulation, construction chemicals are emerging as key enablers of decarbonisation. From improving material efficiency and durability to enabling lower-emission production processes and reducing energy consumption, these advanced construction chemicals are shaping a more sustainable future.

In the mortar industry, innovative admixtures and alternative binders are transforming traditional materials, reducing clinker content and enhancing compatibility with circular economy principles. By adopting these solutions, companies can not only meet regulatory requirements but also gain a competitive edge in an evolving market.

This presentation will highlight how construction chemicals are driving real change and how their adoption can support both industry-wide sustainability goals and the specific needs of the mortar sector.
