Our Purpose
We develop circular building solutions to contribute to a future-ready and sustainable construction industry.

Circularity is an integral part of Polycare - and therefore also an essential field of research. Our building blocks, made from geopolymer concrete, integrate readily available industrial by-products such as fly ash, foundry sand and slags.
We believe architecture using the principle of design for disassembly is one of the most important paradigm shifts needed today. Buildings should be modular and built in a way that allows reuse of its components. We see a future of reuse and repair, creating new possibilities and unseen flexibility for future buildings to contribute to the circular economy.
We create new value chains so that valuable materials no longer get downcycled or end up in landfills. Our concept of the construction industry is no longer characterised by high CO2 emissions and resource depletion, but by smarter systems, efficiency and flexibility.
We identify secondary raw materials for the production of our building blocks. In doing so, we completely eliminate cement as a binder for our geopolymer concrete, paving the way for the construction industry to majorly reduce its carbon footprint.
By ensuring the reuse through design for disassembly and capturing the data and value of the components are in a material bank, every component of our system becomes a valuable asset for the circular economy.
We shift away from linear value chains and design regenerative new processes that push products designed for the future. The principles of Reuse, Recycle and Repair guide us in everything we do.
Our mission is to revolutionise the building industry - we cannot do that alone. That is why we build partnerships and enable businesses around the globe to lead their own local building industries sector towards a sustainable future.
From the blueprint of our company ethos to the functionality of our building system - adaptability is how we break barriers respond to change quickly. This agile mindset fosters high productivity through ownership and shared success.
The impact of climate change is a matter that affects us all. Our purpose is to address the challenges within the building industry and focus on developing impactful ways to combat them.
