Problem
Construction projects generate significant waste and carbon emissions because building materials are rarely reused. Existing processes for mapping, selecting, and trading reusable materials are manual, time-consuming, and often fail to meet regulatory requirements for circularity in building codes.
Solution
Materia delivers a comprehensive digital system that streamlines the entire reuse workflow in construction projects. The platform enables efficient material mapping that satisfies public requirements in the TEK17 building regulations, supports selection, validation, and reservation of reusable materials during the design phase, and facilitates trading through integrated marketplace solutions. Users can automatically generate full overviews of climate gas emissions, waste savings, and cost reductions, making circular resource utilization both practical and measurable.
Target Audience
Primary customers are construction companies, architects, and project developers who need to implement material reuse in their building projects while complying with circular economy regulations.
