Meta signs low-carbon cement, steel, plastics, and electric trucking procurement deals

Meta has signed a batch of procurement commitments for low-carbon materials and freight. The largest is with Sublime Systems for at least 180,000 tons of electrochemically produced cement, money that helps Sublime build its first commercial facility in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Meta also bought environmental attribute certificates for roughly 200,000 tons of Fortera's low-carbon cement and has separate deals with CarbonBuilt and Amrize for low-carbon concrete. In steel, Meta signed a multi-year deal with Sweden's Stegra, which plans to use green hydrogen at its Boden plant. The company also made a long-term commitment to MacroCycle Technologies, buying EACs from plastic recycling to support a planned 5,000 ton per year commercial plant in the Southeastern US. Meta expanded its electric trucking agreement with Nevoya to add a California-to-Arizona route along I-10. The mix matters because direct purchases and EACs work differently. Direct offtake helps producers de-risk first commercial plants, while EACs provide revenue tied to environmental attributes. Both are tools for scaling low-carbon materials, but the emissions impact depends on how the certificates are accounted for.
