Circuland is a London-based startup that's pioneering innovative solutions for the circular economy within the construction industry. Founded by Anastasia Stella (CEO) and Angelo Mermiklis (CTO), the company specializes in developing Digital Material Passports for construction products, buildings, and infrastructure.
At the core of Circuland's offering is a platform that creates comprehensive lifecycle records for construction materials. These Digital Material Passports enable the reuse and recovery of value from building materials, effectively transforming buildings into "Material Banks." This approach aligns with upcoming EU requirements under the Digital Product Passport (DPP) policy and broader sustainability initiatives like the EU Green Deal's Circular Economy Action Plan.
The company's technology addresses a critical need in the construction sector, which is responsible for 40% of global carbon emissions and generates 62% of all waste in the UK. By promoting the reuse of materials, Circuland helps companies reduce carbon emissions and waste from construction projects.
Circuland's platform has already gained traction with top-tier organizations and Fortune 500 companies in the UK and Europe. The company recently secured €750,000 in pre-seed funding led by Apeiron Ventures, with participation from Astylab Ventures. This investment will be used to accelerate product development, expand the team, and position Circuland as a leader in Digital Material Passports for the construction industry.
The founders bring a unique perspective to the construction industry, with Angelo Mermiklis drawing parallels between the transformative impact of accessible, transparent data in the financial sector and the potential for similar change in the built environment.
As the construction industry faces increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices, Circuland's innovative approach to promoting circularity and resource efficiency positions it as a potentially significant player in the future of sustainable construction.
