Circ Regen
When circularity and real estate go hand in hand
Circ Regen is a property development company with a passion for sustainable design and use, identifying and producing the re-use of materials in its projects.
What is circularity?
The circular economy is a model of production and consumption, which involves sharing, leasing, reusing,repairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materials and products as long as possible.
In this way, the lifecycle of products is extended. In practice, it implies reducing waste to a minimum in 3 simple principles:
Designing out waste and pollution
Reducing inefficiency starts at the design process
Keeping products and materials in use
Materials can have multiple lives to reduce their environmental impact
Regenerating natural systems
By using sustainable materials, we can ensure a healthier future

From Leaky - Linear Systems
Current business models tend to be linear, resources extracted from the ground, we make something, eg. plastic drinking cup, use it once, dispose it & cause pollution
To Loopy - Circular Systems
In this model, resources are extracted from the ground, Make something, eg. coffee mug, use it, re-use it, etc. If damaged, then repair, then re-use it, etc. Only at the end of life, is the mug recycled.

The traditional building process is inefficient, wasteful and damaging to society
Here’s how the current linear cycle is broken
Excessive consumption, intentional wastage, limited lifespan of building materials, and disconnected communities result in increased environmental degradation, heightened resource depletion, and accelerated climate change.

Opportunities Lost
Full range of stakeholders rarely consulted at project inception. Building not designed for flexibility or adaptability for different uses
.svg)
Design Waste
Architects and engineers inadvertently design waste into buildings
.svg)
Manufacture Waste
Components cannot be disassembled. Manufacturers only guarantee performance at point of sale. Virgin material normally used
.svg)
Construction Waste
Components are cut and assembled on site -> takes longer + leads to more waste. Construction detailing and material specification not consistently or digitally recorded
.svg)
Demolition Waste
Valuable materials end up in landfills instead of being reused or recycled, representing a missed opportunity for sustainability.

Building in layers
and how it works
The first stage to creating circular economy principles into the construction sector starts with procuring a supply chain of sustainable and circular products and manufactures
We enable real estate stakeholders to source and procure sustainable and circular materials to hit their EPC and BREAAM targets.
Allowing users to obtain quotes more efficiently, with useful KPI’s (e.g. Co2, etc) and facilitating digitised data to enter the design, procurement, operation and end of life stages of the building.

Goal: to make sustainability cheaper, easier and more efficient
Targeted at developers/contractors
Free to use
One stop shop’ to find materials, compare quotes and place order
Capture data at source to enable circularity in the future
