Dutch startup MAECONOMY has raised €1.5 million in funding to develop a new financial and digital infrastructure aimed at transforming building materials into auditable and monetisable circular assets. The funding round was led by impact-focused investors, supporting the company’s vision to bring transparency and liquidity to construction materials within the circular economy.
Founded in 2023, MAECONOMY is building a platform that enables stakeholders to track, verify, and trade materials used in buildings, turning them into measurable financial assets even before they are extracted. The system uses advanced technologies such as AI-driven material mapping, digital material passports, and blockchain-based trading systems.
The initiative aims to address a major inefficiency in the construction sector, where a large portion of materials from demolition or renovation still holds value but often goes unused due to lack of standardisation and visibility.
Industry experts note that by enabling materials to be reused and traded more efficiently, the platform could unlock significant economic and environmental value, while supporting sustainability goals and reducing waste.
MAECONOMY plans to expand its operations across Europe as demand for circular construction solutions continues to grow.
