The Problem

Current Industry Challenges

The construction industry generates over 40% of global waste. Solving this requires better material data — but the infrastructure to manage it doesn't yet exist.

Fragmented Material Data

Material information is scattered across spreadsheets, PDFs, BIM models, and proprietary systems with no unified source of truth.

Poor Traceability

Tracking materials across their entire lifecycle — from manufacturing to demolition — is nearly impossible without dedicated tooling.

Difficult Sustainability Reporting

Compiling accurate carbon footprint and embodied energy data requires manual effort across disconnected data sources.

Limited Reuse Visibility

Without digital records, high-quality materials are unnecessarily demolished and sent to landfill instead of being reused or recycled.

No Standardized Records

There are no widely adopted digital standards for material documentation, making interoperability between tools and projects impossible.

40%

of global CO₂ emissions come from the building sector. Transparent material data is the first step to meaningful reduction.

The Solution

Everything you need for
material intelligence

Material Passport provides an open, extensible platform that brings all material data together — ready for the circular economy.

Material Registry

Centralized database for all building materials with standardized properties, specifications, and metadata.

Digital Material Passports

Generate structured, interoperable digital passports for every material used in a project.

Lifecycle Tracking

Monitor materials from manufacturing through installation, use, and end-of-life stages.

QR Code Integration

Generate and link QR codes to physical materials for instant on-site verification and updates.

Sustainability Metrics

Track embodied carbon, carbon footprint, and environmental certifications per material.

Circularity Insights

Measure recyclability, reuse potential, and circular economy scores across your projects.

Document Management

Attach technical data sheets, certifications, warranties, and maintenance records.

Open APIs

REST and GraphQL APIs to integrate with BIM tools, ERP systems, and sustainability platforms.

How It Works

A passport for every material

Four steps to transform how your organization tracks, manages, and reports on building materials across their full lifecycle.

01

Material Registration

Register materials with comprehensive specifications — type, manufacturer, weight, dimensions, certifications, and embedded carbon data.

  • Standardized data schema
  • BIM model integration
  • Manufacturer data import
02

Passport Generation

Automatically generate structured digital passports following open standards, ready for sharing with stakeholders and regulators.

  • Open standard formats
  • QR code generation
  • PDF export
03

Lifecycle Tracking

Track materials through every phase — from manufacturing to installation, maintenance, and eventual end-of-life decisions.

  • Stage-by-stage updates
  • Photo documentation
  • Condition reporting
04

Reuse & Recycling

When materials reach end-of-use, their passport data enables informed reuse, repurposing, or recycling decisions.

  • Circularity scoring
  • Marketplace listings
  • Waste reduction reports
