In 2015, long before embodied carbon became a regulatory requirement, the founders of Upcyclea and the European BAMB research programme invented the concept of the Digital Product Passport<\/span> (Material Passport at that time) \u2014 and with it, the idea that buildings could be managed as material banks rather than demolished as waste.<\/p>Inspired by the Cradle to Cradle philosophy, we built the first AI-powered platform capable of turning a building's material inventory into real-time ESG indicators, reuse matching, and Scope 3 carbon calculation \u2014 all in one click, in real-time.<\/p>
Today, Upcyclea operates urban mining programmes in France, the United Kingdom, Singapore and Japan<\/span>, and manages the world's largest library of Digital Product Passports for construction products. We are recommended by the UK Green Building Council and compatible with every major decarbonisation framework, from BCA Green Mark to European CSRD.<\/span><\/p><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
