Rebriq recognises the material, grades its condition and suggests a price in seconds, so publishing a listing takes two minutes instead of a trip to the déchetterie
Six guided shots, checked for focus before they are accepted
The secondary materials market does not fail for lack of supply or demand, it fails because neither side can describe the object of the transaction in a way the other side will trust
Fewer than one building element in a hundred is reused once it has been removed, while the value of what is discarded runs to €1.5 – 2 billion every year
More than seventy per cent of all non-household solid waste in France, with residential construction alone accounting for some 46 million tonnes
Paying for a skip is simpler than finding a buyer, so oak parquet, cast iron radiators and old tiles leave the building as waste
No condition grading, no technical specification, no price benchmark, so a buyer looking at a photograph can confirm nothing and walks away
Choose the side you are on and follow the path end to end, from the first photograph to a material that arrives where it is needed
Four to six shots from prescribed angles, with an on-device check that rejects a blurred frame and asks for a retake
Type, composition, approximate period and condition come back in five to ten seconds, and you confirm what the model proposes
A range drawn from reference pricing, comparable items in your region and realised sales, shown together with its reasoning
Description, specification, geolocation and collection terms are already written, so the listing goes live in about two minutes
Filter by family, type, region and radius, condition class, production period and the RE2020 tag, rather than by keyword luck
Origin, dimensions, condition with the criteria that produced it and a photo series that includes the wear areas
Premium items can be inspected by a certified artisan partner, so the condition assessment comes from an independent specialist
Funds are held until you confirm receipt, with collection, partner delivery or aggregated delivery within your district
Whole lots from a site, a yard or a demolition project go up in one pass instead of one listing at a time
An API links stock and project data to the platform, so listings follow what actually leaves the site
Every transaction writes a traceable reuse record, in the form eco-organisations ask for under REP PMCB
Professional accounts carry a reduced commission, priority placement and analytics on what moves in each region
Every decision in the interface is subordinated to one target, because a sale that takes more effort than a skip hire simply does not happen
Open any block to see what it holds and where it comes from, because the passport is the artefact that follows the material after the sale
Family, type, composition and approximate period returned by the identification module and confirmed by the seller before publication
The class is always shown alongside the criteria that produced it, so a buyer sees the reasoning rather than a bare label
Dimensions, quantity, surface area and weight estimate, with the origin of the material: building type, region, installation period and reason for removal
A series from prescribed angles, with defect shots required whenever the condition class is Good or Fair
An independent assessment by a certified artisan partner, requested by the buyer on materials in the Premium category
Reused materials count as carbon-neutral under RE2020, and the reuse declaration data is captured as a by-product of a normal transaction
Where confidence between two adjacent condition classes is close, the module assigns the lower one and flags the item for optional verification
Realised transactions feed back into the pricing engine, which is how a price benchmark for secondary construction materials comes into existence at all
A contractor demonstrating réemploi needs traceable evidence of what was reused, in what quantity and where it went, and the passport produces exactly that
Trained on what a French renovation actually produces, because a general recogniser trained on everything performs worse on parquet than a model trained on French flooring

€10 – 120 per unitSkirting, architraves, worktops, sinks and unused surplus insulation panels
€5 – 150 per unitThe taxonomy is French-specific and hierarchical: tomettes, carreaux de ciment and volets are categories a general model does not distinguish, and each family absorbs new types without retraining the whole model
Site acceptance methodology from major construction projects, reduced to what can be verified from photographs
Reusable immediately, with no preparation required
Reusable after minor preparation such as cleaning, sanding or repainting
Reusable for specific purposes or after restoration
The legal framework has been built from the top down since 2020, and Rebriq is the everyday tool that makes it workable at the base
Sets quotas for reuse and recycling across the construction market, which without a market instrument are close to impossible to meet
Extended producer responsibility for construction materials, with an eco-contribution on each product placed on the market and an exemption for verified réemploi
Recognises reused materials as carbon-neutral, contributing nothing to a building's carbon footprint, which creates direct demand from architects and developers
From a level below one per cent today, under the operating rules of the eco-organisations, which means a five-fold rise in three to four years under direct legal obligation
Contractors, démolisseurs and marchés de récupération work through an account built for volume rather than for one listing at a time
Each of us has spent more than fifteen years in construction, which is why Rebriq starts from how materials are classified, valued and moved rather than from a marketplace template
Twenty years in construction development, and the only member of the team who has already built and launched a two-sided marketplace from nothing
Eighteen years as project control manager on major EPC and EPCM projects, maintaining bills of materials and running quality control on site
Has led a construction company since 2014 and met the surplus problem in practice, hundreds of times, at the end of every project
Sellers, architects, contractors, reclamation yards and delivery partners all reach the same inbox, and we answer every message ourselves
We are finishing the identification module and building the first regional catalogue with our partner yards, so access is opening in stages
You are on the list, we will be in touch as soon as access opens
