Construction Materials Exchange – a digital platform to unlock the potential of excess construction materials

Did you know that the Irish Construction Industry is responsible for almost the 50% of all Irish waste? Very little of the waste is reused, it’s mostly downcycled as aggregate or backfill.

Jump-start the circular economy in your organisation. Join the Construction Materials Exchange (CMEx) digital platform.

What is CMEx?

CMEx is a user friendly, digital platform that connects organisations with each other so that they can exchange or trade excess construction materials between them. The platform showcases excess materials from projects where they can be seen, traded, exchanged and reused, ensuring that materials continue to have a value beyond their initial lifecycle.

By engaging with CMEx you will transition to the circular economy by unlocking the potential of excess construction material.

It’s free to register your organisation on the platform before February 2023.

  • Browse through the product or project portal and check out the materials available and their the location
  • Register and receive log in details – if you’d like to register your organisation on the platform, trade or exchange materials.

Check CMEx now!

  • An organisation that would like to find materials for their projects – browse and register when you are ready to trade or exchange
