Meta says its commitments with Stegra and other suppliers will help scale lower-carbon production for data-center supply chains; an agreement with MacroCycle dates to September.
Sole source: Meta announced long-term purchase commitments involving Stegra, Sublime Systems, Fortera, Nevoya and MacroCycle Technologies on 12 November 2026. In its newsroom announcement, Meta said the commitments would help scale lower-carbon materials and freight services for its data-center supply chains.
The commitments build on earlier projects, including a 2025 agreement supporting iron from Electra’s demonstration plant in Jefferson County, Colorado, and lower-carbon concrete projects with CarbonBuilt and CarbiCrete. MacroCycle announced its agreement with Meta on 22 September 2026, before its inclusion in the November announcement.
Meta says the agreements are structured around environmental attribute certificates: suppliers produce verified lower-carbon materials or services, Meta pays for the environmental benefit, and the materials or services are used in local markets. Buying a certificate does not itself deliver the material to a Meta data center. Meta says it seeks priority access for direct use where possible as factories come online and supply chains mature.
Meta says long-term commitments give suppliers revenue certainty to build and scale production and help demonstrate their technologies to a wider market. It estimates that planned and expanded US plants will support hundreds of construction and long-term manufacturing jobs.
The new multi-year agreement with Sweden-based Stegra supports what Meta calls near-zero-emission primary steel. Meta says the process eliminates coal from iron reduction, the step that produces iron for steelmaking; it does not say that all steelmaking emissions are eliminated.
Meta says its agreement with Sublime Systems supports at least 180,000 tons of lower-carbon cement production, enables the company to build its first commercial-scale facility and gives Meta priority access to the cement for future data-center construction. A separate agreement with cement producer Fortera supports a new plant in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri.
Meta says its earlier MacroCycle agreement helps finance the company’s first commercial plant in the southeastern US. The plant aims to turn hard-to-recycle waste into 5,000 tons of recycled PET a year. PET is a plastic used in packaging and textiles; MacroCycle says the plant will use a solvent-based process to dissolve and purify mixed or contaminated PET waste.
Meta is expanding its work with Nevoya to a route along Interstate 10 in California and Arizona. The company says that builds on its earlier freight partnerships with Nevoya and the Center for Green Market Activation in Texas, and with NFI in Virginia.
Meta says electric trucks have no tailpipe emissions and are quieter than diesel trucks, and that its support for trucks and charging infrastructure will help bring cleaner air and quieter streets along the corridors. Permanent, open-access charging stations are also planned to serve other commercial fleets.
Ofcom found that Meta breached 5 information requirements across two requests for a market review. Meta accepted liability and agreed to settle.
