Buildings are material banks — deconstruction meets the next site.
Deconstruction and urban mining across demolition contractors, hauliers, processors, and manufacturer take-back schemes. We match what a site releases (steel, mineral aggregates, timber, building products) with what the next site needs, routed to the highest-value reuse and documented end to end.
Or start with a 30-minute conversation.
Turn demolition waste into a documented material supply.
Construction and demolition is Europe's largest waste stream by mass. Public procurement, taxonomy alignment, and CSRD reporting increasingly ask for pre-demolition audits, material passports, and verified recovery rates. Tipping receipts alone no longer suffice. ContainerGrid runs the operational layer that produces those artefacts as a byproduct of the physical work.
Building Owners & Developers
Public and private clients who need pre-demolition audits and taxonomy-aligned recovery evidence per project.
Demolition & Site Contractors
Executing selective demolition, deconstruction, and material segregation at the source.
Processors & Aggregate Producers
Recyclers turning demolition streams into certified secondary aggregates, structural steel, and recovered timber.
Material Producers & System Suppliers
Manufacturers of insulation, flooring, ceiling systems, and pipes who want mandated access to their products' end-of-life streams instead of leaving routing to whoever holds the container.
The platform adapts to your operating model. References available on request.
Five steps from pre-demolition inventory to documented reuse.
Pre-Demolition Inventory
Digital building survey covering what the building holds: quantities, qualities, hazard flags, R-strategy per element.
Recovery & Grading
Selective deconstruction and on-site grading: steel, mineral aggregates, timber, building products separated and quality-banded at source.
Match to Demand at Active Sites
Released materials matched against demand from the next site, including manufacturer take-back schemes for building products.
Route to Highest-Value Reuse
Beam-scale reuse before shredding, certified secondary aggregate before landfill. Every stream routed to the highest R-level available.
Documentation & Material Passport
Per-project evidence pack: material passport, recovery rates, chain-of-custody, taxonomy-aligned reporting.
Today the contractor decides where your product ends up. A material account changes that.
Onboard your partner recyclers, collect the weighing slips as material leaves site, and virtualize them into a mass balance per recycler and product line. Recyclers who build volume in your material account gain priority access to new streams; you gain documented recycled content for your next product generation. Pipe, insulation, and flooring manufacturers already run public take-back schemes; the missing piece is standardized data across every recycler in the loop.
Every stream tracked, quality-banded, routed to certified processing.
Structural Steel
Beam-scale reuse cascaded before shredding: highest circular value.
Recycled Aggregate
Concrete graded and certified for structural or non-structural re-use.
Hazardous Streams
Asbestos, contaminated soil, treated timber: segregated with certified handling.
Documented recovery is becoming a procurement gate, not a reporting footnote.
EU Taxonomy DNSH criteria, CSRD ESRS E5, and green public procurement rules increasingly require pre-demolition audits, material passports, and verified recovery rates. Programs on ContainerGrid produce those artefacts as a byproduct of the physical work, not as a year-end reconciliation. National instruments such as pre-demolition inventories, digital waste tracking, and construction EPR schemes set the reporting duty; ContainerGrid is the operational layer that fulfils it, complementary to building material passports, not competing with them.

The revised Construction Products Regulation introduces environmental performance declarations, and deconstruction material increasingly needs documented provenance to count toward recycled-content claims. Documentation you do not capture at deconstruction is gone for good.
Turn your next demolition into your first documented loop.
Scoped with your project pipeline and contractor network. Not a generic demo.
Typical pilot: 8–12 weeks to first material passport.
You can stop at every step, and everything produced up to that point stays with you.
If you are unsure which path fits, start with the 30-minute conversation. It is the right first step for nearly every team.
