We founded Staaltro in 2024 during our master’s studies, sparked by the construction industry’s frustration with reuse. After more than 140 interviews across the industry’s value chain to understand the problem, one thing became clear: the industry wants to buy reused materials the same way it buys new ones.
The problem
Property developers face growing requirements for reuse and CO₂ reduction, and demand for sustainable buildings has increased by 250% since 2019. However, friction in the value chain makes reuse inefficient in practice. Today, developers aiming to reduce emissions must manage the entire reuse process themselves: careful dismantling with a demolition contractor, temporary storage, transportation, product quality checks and documentation, and reinstallation in new projects.
How we solve reuse
Staaltro solves this by standardizing the entire reuse process. We source specific materials from multiple demolition and rehabilitation projects, verify them against manufacturer standards, provide CO₂ documentation, and distribute them through your wholesaler. This makes reused materials as easy to buy and use as new materials, with a much lower climate footprint (99% Co2 reduction).
For property developers who are demolishing or rehabilitating, it’s simple. Include a requirement for Staaltro-managed reuse in the tender, and we handle the rest through your subcontractors.
For buyers of certified used cable trays, the process is simple as well. Ask your contractor to procure reused materials, and Staaltro delivers them through the wholesaler channel, just like buying new. Buyers can procure both used and new products in the same order.
