Latest update (11-12 07:00): Meta signs long-term deals for lower-carbon cement, steel, trucking and recycled plastics

Overview: Meta announces long-term purchase commitments for lower-carbon cement, near-zero-emission steel, electric freight and recycled plastics to support its data center construction. The agreements named include at least 180,000 tons of lower-carbon cement from Sublime Systems, near-zero-emission steel from Stegra, and 5,000 tons per year of recycled PET from MacroCycle Technologies.

Meta says the commitments give suppliers revenue certainty to build commercial-scale capacity. Meta also says it pays for Environmental Attribute Certificates tied to verified lower-carbon output.
