00:0040% of the global landfills result from construction industry.

00:21Material Mapper is a data platform that tells you when, where, what materials and in what

00:27quantities will become available for reuse from demolishing sites.

00:35We have built a three-tier data platform.

00:39We access the municipality data, which consists of data on planned demolishments within the

00:46next five years in each city in Norway.

00:50First tier for platform is a search tool and a map of the city, where you can search by

00:55time of demolition, by address, by radius from that address, by type of building.

01:01And you will get results with images of each building and amounts and kilos of each large

01:07material category that will result from this building being deconstructed.

01:12The second tier of the project, which is an advanced search tool, where you can search

01:17by material amounts and get a more tabular view of all the results.

01:22And the third tier of the platform is a data chart that gives you a timeline and an overview

01:29of the entire city within a certain time period, where you can see which materials will become

01:36more or less available.

01:47After expansion in Europe, we of course want to make an infrastructure for reusable materials

01:53on a global scale.
