I’ve spent over 30 years in Real Estate, leading projects from planning a new town outside Paris, developing a major office led development in London, restructuring the 3 Bn € debt on a department store chain in Germany to 12 years at the helm of one of the world’s largest asset managers with 32Bn € AUM. Sustainability was always a priority, but I often saw decisions driven by outdated bottom-line thinking. One experience that stuck with me was during a redevelopment project where seven old buildings were being demolished. Weeks after, I found a bronze bas relief that once adorned a lobby for sale on an antique dealer’s website, while the rest of the materials were sent to waste. It made me realize how much value was being overlooked and discarded.
As I became more aware of the link between embodied carbon in construction and climate change, I saw the need for our industry to step up. With the climate clock ticking, I knew reuse was a no-brainer — but it wasn’t happening on a meaningful scale. That’s why I founded Circotrade: to bridge the gap between the financial drivers of the real estate world and sustainability, by creating value from building materials that would otherwise go to waste, helping to reduce embodied carbon and combat climate change.

“A circular economy could reduce global CO2 emissions from building materials by 38% in 2050, by reducing demand for steel, aluminium, cement, and plastic.”

Only 1% of materials from a standard demolition process are reused; the value of the remaining 99% is destroyed, creating over a half of global waste streams. Circotrade is changing this narrative by turning waste into valuable assets.
