Sustainable construction material sharing platform

Problem Statement


The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that every year, around 600


thousand tonnes of Construction & Demolition waste is generated just in the


United States. This is not only wasteful but comes at an enormous carbon footprint,


while a large part of this waste could be repurposed at other sites and construction


activities.


Target Group


NGOs and other organizations aiming to alleviate poverty through housing provisions


Proposed Solution


Our project aims to provide a platform where developers from large corporations to


small private entrepreneurs could connect and offer their remaining materials to


charities such as Habitat for Humanity, Age of Hope, and other NGOs aiming to


alleviate poverty through housing provisions.


Hub Activities


The Hub is going to build a platform as well as facilitating outreach activities to


different stakeholders and onboarding them to the new system.
