What They Do: My home is my castle? According to Madaster it should read "my home is my resource”. The dutch start-up defines todays’ cities as the urban mines of tomorrow. In a world of continuously growing population, people need more domestic premises. But resources are expensive, supply challenges grow, and – most important – the construction sector consumes enormous resources producing more than half of the world's waste. Since 2017, work with what you got has been the belief of Madaster. Their digital platform registers materials used in new buildings and puts a "circularity indicator" to it based on numerous scores. It not only systematically records what has been built, but also in what quantities and how much of it can be recycled or reused making existing property to material banks for future constructions.
