A technologically enabled trading platform to facilitate and unlock the future value of your building’s materials.
Helping you help the planet…
by extracting environmental, social and financial value from previously disregarded building materials by planning for their future re-use.
A key conceptual shift is to think of buildings not just for their primary purpose, but also as a method of storing thousands of tons of valuable products and materials, which can be traded and reused at the end of the building’s life, rather than just discarded.
This approach promotes tools such as carbon data bases, electronic materials passports and reimagines a building as a dynamic data-tracked repository of tradable value.
