Sustainable construction trends in Latin America
Overview
The construction industry across Latin America is increasingly adopting sustainable practices and decarbonization strategies to reduce environmental impacts.
In Ecuador, companies like Cotopaxi S.A. are expanding into premium interior design solutions using production models focused on responsible forest management, energy efficiency, and circular economy principles.
In Mexico and Peru, the sector is shifting toward low-carbon materials. Mexican industry professionals are utilizing green concrete, which replaces clinker with materials like volcanic ash or calcined clays to potentially reduce emissions by up to 50%. In Peru, companies such as Cementos Pacasmayo have introduced products like Ultra Armado HE, which features lower clinker content to reduce carbon footprints by up to 12%. Across these regions, experts emphasize waste management, optimized resource allocation, and improved material planning as essential actions for advancing sustainable building.
