Madaster is the online platform that facilitates a circular built environment, drastically reducing the amount of waste produced, reducing CO2 emissions and taking better care of our planet. The platform enables the registration, documentation, and exchange of material data related to buildings and infrastructure and collates information to create material passports. Materials, components, and products are provided with an identity, transforming them into a valuable resource that enables reuse and promotes the sustainable management of our built environment. In addition, by leveraging the large amounts of data connected to each building or infrastructure object Madaster can produce a wide range of environmental and financial insights including circularity, detachability, whole life carbon, toxicity and residual value.
