HARVESTMAP.ORG Harvestmap is an online marketplace for redundant and second hand materials. It helps designers, builders and professional upcyclers. Harvestmap allows companies or individuals to make an inventory of their supplies of materials (components or even buildings) in order to give them a second use.

for the need of our activities in identifying waste flows, but also to help other designers to find materials. Its goal is also to support new circular entrepreneurs to start their own mediation company. Harvestmap.org has now active communities in Detroit, Vienna and China.

The website can link the largest corporations to the smallest businesses as in an open network, however it doesn t compromise the closed circuits. But for us, a broad cultural shift will only happen if big companies connect with many more different. This way, they would connect back to local stakeholders and be able to adapt flexibly to changing circumstances.

An important aspect of (re)using waste is that we pay more attention to the material.
