Label Date June 29, 2020
From Denmark
Maturity stage TRL 9 / CRI 3-4 - Commercial Scale Up / Multiple commercial Applications

Manufacturing and construction companies produce important amounts of waste - an average of 360 million tonnes in the manufacturing sector and of 900 million tonnes in the construction sector, in the European Union each year. Upcycling Forum aims at connecting these two sectors with design companies, who upcycle the material into products, and design branding companies, who will then sell the product. Upcycling forums allows product developers to become members and to access special offers. Companies can also go directly on the website and see what materials are relevant for their company and buy them directly. There is a possibility for the companies to trade directly with other companies disposing of their waste in order for them to find the best strategic partnership.

The Environmental Benefits

  • The solution has hindered the collection of 50 tons of wood as raw material, enabling to save 71,4 tons of CO2 from being emitted in the atmosphere

The Financial Benefits

  • Allows customers to create value from something they would have disposed of otherwise
  • Allows to market clients' products as more sustainable which can result in a competitive advantage over time
