Meeting the housing needs in our country is one of the main challenges today and that is why Holcim México, through its global project, “Houses of the Future” , aims to create sustainable homes. and accessible through materials and technologies that reduce CO2 emissions. For the construction of this type of housing, cement and concrete are fundamental materials, which represent an opportunity to reduce the environmental impact of buildings.
