The construction and real estate industry causes a huge impact on the climate and loses millions in the absence of flexible ways to track, manage and reuse materials and inventory. In fact, the real estate industry accounts for a third of Swedens’ waste, and a fifth of emissions.
We are on a mission to change this by improving the feasibility and profitability of reuse. We are developing Palats: a digital platform that enables circular material management. With Palats, properties are digitized so that material and inventory can be tracked and managed. When it's time to build, Palats displays what already exists and how the management of it affects the economy and climate. As a result, unnecessary waste and purchases can be avoided.
