Construction generates over 50% of the UK’s landfill and the embodied carbon of replacement materials is over 14% of total UK emissions. Yet reclaim rates are less than 2%.
Material Index digitises the reclaim industry, closing the loop between demolition and construction.
Material Index are actively recruiting for a variety of roles. If you are an ambitious built environmental professional with a strong commitment to sustainability please apply.
We undertake pre-demolition, pre-refurbishment and pre-redevelopment audits, at all stages of a building's lifecycle, to meet BREEAM and Circular Economy Statements using our proprietary platform.
We provide information on material valuation, reuse pathways, deconstruction advice and embodied carbon data, accessible through our platform.
We specialise in diverting materials arising from the refit, deconstruction and demolition of buildings that would be sent to waste being reused. We provide traceability on the sending of materials to the secondary supply chain, and their procurements.
We can assist you with the sourcing and specification of secondary materials for your next project, helping you meet your embodied carbon targets.
We work closely with asset managers, developers, contractors and reclaim businesses, to help our industry partners source and sell secondary construction components.
We are architects, engineers and software developers committed to helping the construction industry become more sustainable.
