Join us on Monday September 16th at 5pm CEST for the next Virtual Trend Tour on Built Environment Powered by Bau! As one of the largest economic drivers and connecting many correlated industries, the construction industry generates nearly 30% of all waste in developed countries. Join us as we hear from start-ups on their innovative solutions to tackle construction waste.

What They Do: Revalu is bridging the gap between data and design. It is a platform and community for tomorrow’s designers, manufacturers, and builders. Currently, there are only limited resources available to make ecological decisions in the construction sector, and conducting thorough research is necessary as data is decentralized across various sources. This is exactly where Revalu comes in. Its mission is to break down climate complexity by making data-driven choices more accessible across the industry. The start-up provides relevant information about the environmental impacts of materials and raw materials in the construction sector.

What They Do: Revitalyze is an award-winning platform for construction companies, project developers, and municipalities to tap into the unused resource potential of existing real estate. Using a proprietary tool, Revitalyze analyzes the stock of demolition buildings and facilitates the transfer of reusable building materials through its own digital marketplace. This helps save valuable resources and disposal expenses. The benefits include reduced disposal costs, while Revitalyze also supports building material manufacturers in increasing the proportion of recycled materials in their production, thereby driving the decarbonization of the industry.

What They Do: OTTAN is an impact-oriented startup which developed a technology to up-cycle food and agricultural waste into bio-composites as an alternative to wooden, stone, acrylic and acoustic materials. Ottan Materials are developed and designed to protect natural resources for future generations and bring waste into industry as a new raw material by creating delightful, sustainable and made to last surfaces.
