What Concretos Sustentables Mexicanos does

Concretos Sustentables Mexicanos (CSMX) is a Mexico City-based private company founded in 2012 that operates two construction and demolition waste (RCD / cascajo) recycling plants in CDMX — Planta CIREC in Miguel Hidalgo and Planta Bordo Poniente in Zona Oriente. The company processes mixed, contaminated RCD without requiring pre-separation, converting heterogeneous waste streams into a full portfolio of recycled construction materials including controlled recycled gravel (3/4 and 3/8), recycled sand, recycled hydraulic base, three asphalt mixture variants (RAP-based, warm-mix, cold-mix), and three hydraulic concrete products (Class 1 structural, Class 2 general use, low-emission). Daily laboratory testing validates material strength and durability against applicable construction standards including NMX-C-155-ONNCCE-2014 and NACDMX-007-RNAT-2019.

The company's customer base spans private construction firms, demolition contractors (DYMSA, GAMI Ingeniería, Mota-Engil, TAT, Constructora Jaguarundy, DAKAB, Constructora LMI, Yaax Group), and multiple government entities including the Gobierno de la Ciudad de México, four alcaldías (Miguel Hidalgo, Venustiano Carranza, Gustavo A. Madero, Benito Juárez), and the Gobierno del Estado de México. CSMX generates revenue through transaction-based RCD reception and processing fees, one-time sales of recycled construction materials, professional services for asphalt mix design and field quality control, and managed haulage services. Pricing is custom-quoted; RAMIR contracts (required under the 2023 CDMX Ley de Residuos Sólidos reform mandating recycling contracts for all construction projects) are provided free of charge as a customer acquisition lever.

CSMX holds endorsements from AMRCD (Asociación Mexicana de Reciclaje de Residuos de Construcción y Demolición) and FIR (Federación Internacional de Reciclaje), and operates referral partnerships with environmental consulting firm Sohol Kaab and digital waste tracking platform RECI-TRACK. The company processes approximately 500,000 m³ of cascajo annually, capturing roughly 10% of CDMX's 5M+ m³ annual RCD generation, and claims to operate one of the first RCD recycling plants in Latin America with the only integral mixed-RCD processing capability in Mexico.

Revenue model

1. RCD Reception and Processing Services: CSMX receives construction and demolition waste (RCD / cascajo) at its two plants in CDMX, processing it into recycled aggregates and other construction materials. Revenue is derived from fees charged for waste reception and processing, underpinned by the 2023 CDMX law mandating that all construction projects have a valid recycling contract.
2. Recycled Construction Materials Sales: Sale of recycled construction products derived from processed RCD, including controlled recycled gravel (3/4 and 3/8), controlled recycled sand, recycled hydraulic base, recycled asphalt mixtures (RAP, warm, cold), and hydraulic concrete with recycled aggregate. Materials are sold to construction companies, government projects, and private developers.
3. Asphalt Mix Design and Quality Control Services: Technical services including characterization of aggregates and asphalt, Marshall and high-performance mix design, field supervision and quality control of asphalt application, paving, and compaction. These are offered as standalone professional services alongside material sales.
4. Cascajo Haulage / Transportation Services: Provision of transportation and hauling of RCD from construction sites to either of CSMX's two recycling plants. This service is bundled with RAMIR contract issuance, which is provided at no cost, with revenue generated through associated processing fees.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Cemex: Mexico-based global cement, concrete, and aggregates giant with significant presence in Mexico City. Cemex is a broad incumbent in the construction materials space CSMX occupies, and has been expanding sustainable-concrete products that compete with CSMX's recycled-aggregate concrete line.
• SUEZ: Environmental services and water management major with extensive C&D and industrial waste recycling operations in Europe and Latin America. Comparable to CSMX in its construction-waste-to-recycled-material offering, though it operates at continental scale and as a broad incumbent.
• Clean Harbors: North American environmental services company focused on hazardous waste, but with growing industrial waste and field services lines. Comparable to CSMX as a regulated waste-management counterpart, though its core focus is hazardous rather than C&D.
• Waste Management, Inc. Largest U.S. waste services company with a growing recycling and organics platform. Compares to CSMX as a regulated waste handler with recycling infrastructure, though it is geographically and operationally much broader and does not focus on C&D aggregates.
• Martin Marietta Materials: Major U.S. aggregates and heavy building materials producer that has expanded into recycled aggregates and lower-carbon concrete products. Comparable to CSMX in its focus on aggregates and concrete but at a national scale and with public-market discipline.
• Vulcan Materials Company: U.S. largest producer of construction aggregates, with growing recycled-concrete product line and a publicly benchmarked sustainability framework. Comparable to CSMX as an aggregates platform with recycled-content offerings, though at vastly larger scale.
• Heidelberg Materials: Global cement, aggregates, and ready-mix concrete producer with a portfolio of low-carbon and recycled-content products (e.g., evoBuild). Compares to CSMX as a broad incumbent overlap in sustainable concrete and recycled aggregates, particularly in Latin America.
• Veolia: French global environmental services leader that runs construction and demolition waste processing facilities in multiple countries. Comparable to CSMX as a C&D waste handler offering recycled outputs, though at much larger global scale and as part of a multi-line services business.
• Holcim: Global cement and aggregates leader with a strong sustainability agenda (ECOPact low-carbon concrete, recycled aggregates). Operates broadly in Mexico and competes with CSMX at the higher-value concrete and aggregates end of the chain.

Emerging players

• Bigorrilho / EcoBLT (Brazilian C&D recyclers): Several Brazilian C&D recycling operators (e.g., BLT, Engenharia de Resíduos, BLT Reciclagem) run mixed-load recycling plants similar to CSMX and serve as regional Latin American peers. They offer the closest direct-comparison model for CSMX's pre-separation-free mixed-RCD processing model.
