Raw materials are scarce
Raw materials are scarce, which means we must use them carefully. Madaster is an online library of materials in the built environment. It ensures that the material is linked to the location and records this in a materials passport. This provides insight into which materials have been used in a building and in what quantities.
Madaster aims to eliminate waste by giving materials an identity. Therefore, the materials passport includes information about the quality of materials and their financial and circular value. This makes it easier to reuse materials, minimize waste and save costs.
